The Starship Nobody Wanted

Captain Mara Venn is given command of the worst ship in the Galactic Fleet.

The ship is thirty years old.

Its engines barely work.

Its artificial intelligence is sarcastic.

Its crew consists of four people nobody else wanted.

Their first mission is simple: deliver supplies to a remote colony.

Then they discover an alien distress signal that has been traveling through space for 800 years.

Answering it could start humanity’s first contact with an alien civilization.

Ignoring it could doom an entire world.
