The Runabout

Thousands of years ago, the mysterious Fleet abandoned a vast collection of spaceships, and now they sit in a ship graveyard that the crew of Lost Souls Corporation calls the Boneyard. Boss has been sent there to widen her company's work with the ships still inside. Her colleague Yash Zarlengo hopes the site will reveal whether the Fleet still exists.

While they explore, Boss and Yash find a small vessel whose anacapa drive is still active, and it is both powerful and hazardous. Escaping the Boneyard means Boss must master that drive, which forces her to dive the ship against a tight clock and in deadly conditions. She cannot take the risk alone.

The novel is a standalone entry in Kristine Kathryn Rusch's award-winning Diving series and carries the same fast-paced energy as the earlier books. It also sits alongside The Falls as a companion story told from the other side.
