About this ebook
Interstellar astronaut Helene Kirsch surveyed asteroids for a privately funded research station in an outlying star system. Overworked and underpaid, she flew through the belt until her ship's scanning equipment met a rocky mass with high interference. If her intuition was correct, good things would follow and Hammond could deliver a steady paycheck for once.

Radio Silence
Helene sat snugly in the cockpit of an S3-81 star fighter, an older model not ordinarily meant for deep space travel.
