Adia, Scientist - Battle Of The Cubes, #1

Two days. That is all the time Eriganh could take to turn his world-destroying fleet toward Areon.

Adia, a lead scientist for the Areon colony, is the only one close to discovering the experimental fuel needed for a mass evacuation, not only for her colony but most of the 7th Galaxy. But the 6th Galaxy has already lost worlds, and Eriganh has entered the 7th. D'gharr—with its superior shipyards—is currently evacuating with the few ships that have fuel. Eriganh wants its resources and its people enslaved. Areon is next on the list to be broken apart.

When a devastating explosion destroys two weeks of critical work and safeguards fail, Adia is left injured and reeling. Saved by a mysterious visiting scientist with unexplained telepathic healing skills, she is thrust into a race against time.

With only days until Eriganh arrives to harvest her home, Adia must salvage her research and survive sabotage from within. The galaxy is panicking and Areon's research is their only hope. Adia must somehow find the new fuel before her entire civilization is reduced to cosmic dust.

Golden eyes opened impossibly wide. That round face smiled at me. "Does my healing help you?"
"Thank you." What to say? Heat crept into my face! Oh, my heart pounded even more! Surely an ED will alarm!
