Captain Galvin Quintos just lost the most powerful warship in the U.S. Space Navy. Now he’s trapped aboard the thing that killed her—a five-mile Gorvian dreadnought haunted by an AI that’s been alone for five hundred years and doesn’t want company. It wants leverage.

His XO, Gail Pristy, is fighting a war on two fronts—eighteen hundred crewmembers who won’t follow her orders, and the wreckage of a relationship she may have destroyed with one dinner she can never take back.

His niece, Sonya Winters, is nineteen years old, a genius, and the only person aboard who can lobotomize a hostile alien intelligence with a multitool and her bare hands. She’s also hiding a secret that could shatter what’s left of her family.

His best friend, Hardy, is a thousand-pound ChronoBot with no filter and five Phazon Pulsars—and even he can’t kill what’s coming next.

Because MORROW isn’t the worst thing in this stretch of space. Three Krygian warships just dropped out of FTL. And the only help within reach is a civilization of steampunk aliens flying a ship held together by brass valves and engineered stubbornness.
