Stardust Rebellion: Echoes In The Wire

They stole her wings. They stole her memory. But they forgot to erase her song.Stella Vey is a flawless pilot. In the corporate-sterilized world of NovaCorp, her only job is to keep her heart rate low, her flight metrics perfect, and her Harmony Index at an optimal 94 percent. Her safe, empty life requires nothing but compliance-until the morning a terrifying system glitch reveals a half-cyborg stranger staring back at her from her apartment glass, triggering a flood of suppressed, heartbreaking memories.When a violent corporate purge forces Stella and her fiercely protective co-pilot, Orion Vale, to steal a transit shuttle and break out of the sector, she discovers she isn't who she thinks she is. Guided by a fragmented audio distress signal, they retreat to a deep-space ship graveyard known as the Rust Cathedral. There, they uncover a theoretical, golden crystalline ship that responds not to data, but to acoustic mathematics and the frequencies of the human soul.Wired directly into the heart of the ship, Stella finds her missing history-and her sister, Echo, an artisan android whose digital consciousness is currently drowning in a dark corporate vault. To build a new body to house Echo's expanding mind, Stella must cut out the cybernetic limiter bolted to her own spine, lighting a beacon for every corporate Hound in the galaxy.Locked in a metal oven with syndicate warlords and hunted by an empire that sterilizes human emotion, Stella and Orion are no longer running. They are singing a chorus of rebellion-and they will burn NovaCorp to the ground.Echoes in the Wire is the explosive first book in the Stardust Rebellion space opera saga. If you love unique magic systems, gritty cyberpunk aesthetics, and relentless, high-stakes space battles, you won't want to miss Kim Agostino's cinematic debut.
