Armstrong Station

In space, helping a stranger can get you killed, or worse... Armstrong Station is the busiest spaceport in the system where you can buy almost anything. Even a runaway slave. Doctor Melanie Destin left Earth, desperate to make a new life for herself. Now after finding a job as ship's surgeon aboard the interplanetary freighter, Requiem, her life is starting to look up for the first time in years. But something unexpected happens on a routine stop at Luna's Armstrong Station which threatens to upend Mel's new life and put her and her crew mates in mortal peril. When she chooses to help a runaway slave, Mel discovers that the young woman has a secret; one that will endanger anyone who encounters her. Hunted by a corrupt government official intent on silencing them, Mel must find a way to get them off Luna and away from danger, all without drawing the unwanted attention of a powerful interplanetary crime czar....
