Trading in Velocity
(2024)(The second book in the Star Trader Independence series)
A novel by L J Dix
When tragedy strikes, a race through the stars becomes a battle of life and death.
Rayne Nielson is chipping away at the massive debt she owes to the Intergalactic Trading Corporation (ITC). Even her exclusive shipping agreement with the alien Gr’ardeth isn’t helping to reduce that debt quickly enough.
When a massive cargo ship accidentally destroys a transshipping station in the void, opportunity arises. Rayne is offered the assignment of delivering emergency supplies to save the inhabitants and facilitate repairs. It’s a race against time, but the Independence and her crew are up for the challenge.
But the ITC isn’t the only agency rushing to the scene of the accident.
Rumors swirl that the accident wasn’t an accident at all. Valen Sitara and the crew of the Free Sailor are sent by their mercenary fleet on a mission funded by the Federation. With pirates as the prime suspects, Valen sets out to investigate what happened in the isolation of the void, with orders to take action if necessary.
As Rayne races the clock to get supplies and rescue equipment to those who need it most, other shipping companies set out to be the first to deliver aid with the promise of financial reward from the Federation. It’s a rescue mission turned race, and the competition will do whatever it takes to arrive first.
Lives hang in the balance, and Rayne and Valen’s paths are destined to collide again as they race through the void in this exciting sequel to Trading in Royalty.
Genre: Science Fiction
