Description
The empire made them soldiers. The void made them rebels.
Lina Bho captains a beat-up transport at the galaxy's ragged edge, running aid missions with veterans who'd rather fight than follow orders. She left the United Earth Marines behind, with its politics, its prejudice, and the boot she wore too long. Her Chief, Zuri Josmith, keeps the platoon sharp and the Captain honest. She's also the only woman who's ever made Lina want to take orders.
A black hole is swallowing their star system. No one is coming.
When Lina discovers the United Earth deliberately stranded nine billion people to wipe out a rebel stronghold, she turns her crew against the government that raised them. Pirates stalk her vessel; alien predators nest in her cargo hold; and her hired guns look to her for a plan she hasn't finished writing.
They'll fight their way out or die as the Black Hole Guns.
A jump-capable freighter at the sector's edge is their only ride out. Between Lina and escape sits a pirate captain with a personal vendetta, alien cyborg predators, and her own unraveling mind. Zuri can hold her together or hold the crew together. She can't do both.
This sapphic military sci-fi features a found family crew, morally gray characters, and a second chance romance with power exchange. It contains graphic violence, explicit language, and adult content. Check the copyright page for details.
