Bridgefall. Talaria Voyages, #1

A street hacker. A struggling freighter captain. A galaxy on the brink. Chase Merik only wanted one more clean run. Instead, his freighter is flagged by the military, hunted by alien warships, and tied to a cargo hold that isn't cargo at all. Somewhere inside the mess is a weapon built to tear open the hyperlanes-and the people who want it are willing to burn a planet to keep it moving. On New Terra, bounty hunter Elise Tam catches the wrong target at the wrong time and ends up with a runaway hacker, a dangerous secret, and a countdown she can't afford to ignore.
Chase has the ship. Elise has the skills. Rayla Wylde has the numbers. Together, they might be the only chance anyone has to stop the weapon before it reaches the gate. But the closer they get to the truth, the more the question changes from what the weapon can do to who built it-and why someone inside the Commonwealth wants it unleashed. Outgunned and outnumbered, the crew of Talaria must outrun bounty hunters, battle ruthless mercenaries, and stop a catastrophe before billions of lives are cut off forever.
The galaxy's last hope is running on borrowed credits. If you love cinematic space opera, found-family crews, and galaxy-spanning adventure, Bridgefall is your next adventure.
