About this listen

Rogue Derelict is pulse-pounding side-story set in the universe of Lindsay Buroker’s Fallen Empire Series.

In the chaos following the fall of the empire, Benita Castor wants nothing more than to live a nice quiet life. She thought she made all the right decisions. What could be safer than becoming an accountant? Where could she be more secure than the industrial fringe of the empire’s most civilized planet? Yet somehow, she finds herself in the employ of a crime boss and is shipped off to audit a recent acquisition in a forgotten corner of the system.

Her new assignment is an old Kirian space station being developed by Nori Veshcha, an enterprising woman with big plans for the relic. Nori is overflowing with ambition, innovative ideas, and confidence - though her crew leaves something to be desired. Her chief technician, Blick Mathson, is a man more familiar with collecting debts than repairing ships. The only other crew member, her personal valet Lefty Hammermill, is a dim-witted but well-meaning grunt with secondhand cybernetics. Not much of a workforce to tackle the task of converting a centuries-old hunk of junk into a cutting-edge resort, but Nori is nothing if not determined.

At first, the assignment has the makings of an unpleasant but uneventful enterprise, even if Nori is somewhat overly cool, Blick is a bit overly warm, and Lefty is just overly Lefty. When a second relic of a bygone era makes an unscheduled arrival and its crew assumes Benita is their Kirian commander, she and the others realize the echoes of the past could have grave consequences for their future.

Can a mismatched skeleton crew on a malfunctioning space station rise to the challenge, or will a remnant of history remind the system that some threats aren’t gone, they’re simply forgotten?

Interesting premise without falling in worn out plot traps. Not a surprise when the original owners of a abandoned space station show up but the plot's not going to go where you think it will. Plenty of scary moments with ingenious solutions. There are some plot points you could question but they are not so unreasonable to interfere with the story.
Nice character development; could easily have gotten ugly but author avoided that route that could have made it into a horror show. Appreciated; would like to see a sequel but it's not necessary.

Fun read

This book extends an intricate series of books that I have come to cherish. I was hesitant to give it a chance, but it expanded the possibilities of the stories in ways that I hadn't considered before! :D If you are considering getting this book, you won't regret it!

I really didn't want to like this book, but I did!

Moves slow as well as not providing any intellectual stimulation. Reminds me of old "gumshoe" stories. Was hard to finish.
