Cross the Sky

Book 1 in the Sapphire Sky Archives!

Some secrets should remain … hush-hush.

But who can ignore the fact that the lost starliner, Aquila, may be up for grabs?

Lissaya Anning does not see force fields or sealed starship hatches as obstacles but as invitations. After enduring years of servitude and starvation, she is ready for the SCORE of a lifetime. But can Lissaya’s heist crew retrieve Aquila before a hidden conspiracy upends their entire world?

How ginormous is Aquila’s treasure? Last seen ferrying gold, palladium, and rare artworks, Aquila is the richest ship ever lost to the rifts. Unfortunately, her cargo may also include a dangerous virus. A synthetic virus so potent that alien retribution for its mere existence could cause humanity’s extinction!

Facing alien intrigue and the rift’s crisscrossing tides of dark-energy unreality, Lissaya flies into the future aboard “Sapphire Sky.” Care to travel along with her?

“Thought-provoking and hauntingly beautiful. Scott Azmus writes with a rare combination of intelligence, creativity and originality. I was impressed by Mr. Azmus’ ability to keep the reader’s attention and his characters moving through a novel that is both engrossing and fast-paced.” 

From the author of Lesser Beings, Significant Others, and Fire and Forget!

Cross the Sky echoes aspects of C. J. Cherryh’s Downbelow Station, Vernor Vinge’s A Deepness in the Sky, and Dewey Gram’s Ocean’s 11.
