Restless — G.S. Jennsen

Space is vast and untamed, and it holds many secrets. Now two individuals from opposite ends of settled space are on a collision course with the darkest of those secrets, even as the world threatens to explode around them.
-or they will be in about 8 years. Restless is a short story prequel to Starshine: Aurora Rising Bk 1.
Before Alex Solovy was a successful interstellar scout, she was building starships and planning for the day when she would fly one she called her own. Before Caleb Marano was wiping out the terrorist group who murdered his mentor, he was...wiping out terrorist groups who murdered shopkeepers and threatened his friends.

Catch a glimpse of Aurora Rising's heroes while they were still becoming the individuals they will need to be in order to face the galactic threat which, for now, waits silently in the void.
