Strike Vector (Perilous Alliance #2)

An Aeon 14 novel of the Age of the Orion War
Kylie Rhoads risked life and limb to rescue a girl, thrusting the Dauntless and her crew in the middle of an interstellar tug of war. Now, running from Silstrand Alliance, the GFF, and the Black Crow, Kylie fights the very thing she set out to save.

An advanced nano-technology that is slowly changing her body and rewriting her brain--if Kylie survives the process. That nanotech, is priceless and some people Kylie travels with, would kill to sell her out.

But before she goes down in a blaze of glory, Kylie will risk it all one more time to do the one thing she promised to do. Find Nadine and free her from the hands of the bounty hunter who's keeping her prisoner. Only problem is, the Silstrand Alliance is on her tail, and they will use every means at their disposal to see that the advanced technology doesn't fall into enemy hands.

Even if it means all-out war.
