About this ebook

Rose piloted spaceships… until she crossed the wrong owner. Now she's stuck in the Oligarchy with her cat, working in a salvage yard while trying to fix her ship — though without a cardinal crystal, the hyperspace drives are useless.

When she finds an outlaw AI who claims to have a synthetic crystal, Rose promises to smuggle the AI back to the Independent Federation for a reward.

It's the perfect solution! If the synthetic crystal works. If her second-hand (possibly stolen) ship doesn't fall apart. And if they can escape all the people chasing them.

Space opera has never been more fun! Download Independent Flight and start your adventure today!

About the author

T. M. Baumgartner is a speculative fiction writer who has difficulty following directions. This probably explains why the IRS recalculates her tax refund after she files it every year. At various times she has been a veterinarian, Unix system administrator, software developer, and after-hours book-shelver in a medical library.

Theresa currently lives in Northern California in a house with too many animals. She knits hats for garden gnomes and fails to grow tomatoes despite living in the perfect climate.

She also writes cozy mysteries under the pen name Tess Baytree.
