Dragon Ship

First Class courier pilot Theo Waitley was already known as a nexus ofviolence — and then she inherited the precarious captaincy of a mysterious

self-aware ship designed to serve a long-dead trader. Now she has a trade route

to run for Clan Korval while she convinces the near mythic ghost ship Bechimo

— and herself — that she wants to commit herself as the human side

to their immensely powerful symbiosis. While her former lover battles a

nano-virus that's eating him alive, she's challenged to rescue hundreds of

stranded pilots and crewmen from an explosive situation in near orbit around a

suddenly hostile planet. Lovers, enemies, an ex-roomie, and a jealous spaceship

are all in peril as Theo wields power that no one in the universe is sure of,

especially her.
