Galactic Terror by Michael Robertson

She once ruled the stars—pilot, hacker, covert operative.

Now? Sparks is a ghost, drifting through dive bars and forgotten outposts on the edge of known space. Hunted by blood-soaked memories. Haunted by the things she’s done—and the ones she couldn’t save.

But this shadow life can’t last forever.

When a stranger—half-lit in neon and speaking in partial truths—offers her a way back, Sparks knows better than to trust him. It reeks of a trap. Maybe it is.

But she’s done running.

She’s done hiding.

And if this is the path to her own destruction… then so be it.
