The Kitra Saga

Nineteen-year-old Kitra Yilmaz dreams of traveling the galaxy like her mother. But soaring in her glider is the closest she can get to touching the stars—until she stakes her inheritance on a salvage Navy spaceship. On its shakedown cruise, Kitra's ship plunges into hyperspace, stranding her crew light years away. Tensions rise between Kitra and her shipmates: the handsome programmer, Fareedh; Marta, biologist and Kitra's ex-girlfriend; Peter, the panicking engineer, and the odd alien navigator, Pinky. Now, running low on air and food, it'll take all of them working together to get back home.

Young captain-for-hire Kitra Yilmaz has gotten her first contract: escort the mysterious Princess of Atlántida beyond the Frontier and find her a new world. It's a risky job, fraught with the threat of pirates, dangerous squatters, and rising romantic tensions. Still, Kitra and her crew are up for anything — until they find a lush world, perfect for settlement...with an enormous ghost ship already in orbit. What secret does the crippled vessel hide? And is Kitra ready to take responsibility for its precious cargo?

A damaged ship, a dying shipmate–can she save them both? Under attack! The flight back to Hyvilma should have been the easy part for the crew of the Majera–until a deadly ambush by pirates sends them reeling through hyperspace. Now getting to the planet in time is the only way Captain Kitra Yilmaz can save her dying friend. But landing at Hyvilma may be impossible: war has broken out on the Frontier.

Their last flight? Testing a new Jump drive far beyond the Frontier, Captain Kitra Yilmaz and her friends plunge headlong into a rare first contact... ... just a little too late. The world they find seems lifeless, shrouded in eternal silence--until it lashes out with lethal intent. Now, with danger all around, and emotions running high, can the Majera crew solve the riddle of the plagued planet in time to save a dying race?
