Corsair by Henrik Sorensen

Kalaiapi’s job as a post-human space privateer is hard enough.

As the Universe wages a perpetual war of extinction against the progenasi species, Corsairs are the elite, gene-hacked agents tasked with taking the battle to the enemy; Kalaiapi has 600 years of experience doing just that.

But when the data drive spliced into her consciousness goes haywire, Kalaiapi fears she may have inadvertently become the source of exactly the kind of species-ending cosmic phenomenon she has spent her whole life trying to stop.

Driven to the edge of the known galaxy while wrestling with a sentience inextricably connected to her own, Kalaiapi discovers a mysterious colony of enslaved bio-automatons and must battle to protect fragile lives from a malevolent planet, warring galactic imperia – and even entropy itself. Against the cold abyss of malevolent nature, what chance does one Corsair have?
