Supernova — Kevin J. Anderson

Karl Larson: "I think you're making a big mistake, Captain. Nick: [spins on his heels] Oh, yeah? You want to clarify that? Karl Larson: I'm offering you the opportunity of a lifetime and you're passing it up for all of us. Nick: For all of us? Your opportunity of a lifetime has cost us the life of our ship's captain, it has endangered the lives of this crew, and it's wasting our critical time. All this for some half-baked delusional belief that you'll make yourself rich. There is no opportunity here and there is no us. " Set in the 22nd century, when a battered salvage ship sends out a distress signal, the seasoned crew of the rescue hospital ship Nova-17 responds. What they find is a black hole--that threatens to destroy both ships--and a mysterious survivor whose body quickly mutates into a monstrous and deadly form. This is a Supernova boo. Brand new and never read!!
