Perfect for you if...

You love space opera with real emotional weight, where revenge missions matter because the characters do.
You've read the first Solar Clipper books and want more of Ishmael's story and the universe Lowell built.
You appreciate slower-paced sci-fi that builds atmosphere and character depth alongside adventure.

Maybe not for you if...

You want fast-paced action sequences and combat; this prioritises character and world-building over spectacle.
You need standalone books; this is part of a series and assumes familiarity with previous instalments.
You're looking for light, optimistic space adventures; there's genuine darkness here tied to loss and trauma.

About this book

Ishmael Wang returns to Port Newmar, where he encounters his old shipmate Phillip Carstairs. Carstairs offers Wang an opportunity to pursue the man responsible for killing Wang's lover. To do so, Wang must take command of the Chernyakova, a ship haunted by death and Wang's own nightmares. Wang and Carstairs embark on a journey into the Deep Dark in search of Greta's killer.
