Aberration — Cathy McCrumb

Freedom Awaits, but the Consortium is Watching When rogue drones threaten citizens and the ship's crew falls ill, the Recorder answers their call for help, once again drawing scrutiny from the Consortium.  With no other option and under an Elder's overbearing watch, she returns to Pallas Station where she nearly lost her life in the hope of finding something—anything—to save her friends and countless others. Her friends are determined to keep her safe, but for the Recorder, saving others comes first, no matter the cost.
