Escape from Aspira. The Dustfall Saga, #4

A dead governor. A doomed prison ship. A man who was never meant to survive. Escape From Aspira is a fast-paced pulp science fiction adventure set in the Dustfall Universe-perfect for fans of space opera thrillers, galactic rebellion, and high-velocity sci-fi action. Fil Bassro never wanted to be a hero. He was a quartermaster-good with numbers, better with logistics, terrible at staying out of trouble.
But when the prison ship Aspira falls under attack, Fil discovers a conspiracy that stretches from the desert worlds of Aureth to the heart of the Sovereign Concordium. A murdered governor. A purge order with his name on it. A stolen identity that might be the only thing keeping him alive. With the ship destabilizing around him, Fil joins forces with Lura Kane-a rogue engineer and former revolutionary.
Together, they must navigate collapsing corridors, hijack a shuttle under fire, and outwit an Inquisitor whose idea of "law" involves vaporizing entire sectors. But surviving the Aspira is only the beginning. Fil's escape ignites the first spark in a galactic rebellion-and the empire has already marked him for death. If he chooses to run, the Outer Rim burns. If he chooses to fight, he becomes the governor of a world that never asked for him.
