Spaceships & Sentience - Spaceships & Sentience, #1

How do you escape a murderer when you're suck on an interstellar freighter?

After discovering aliens exist, Maddie thought her day couldn't get worse...yet now she's ducking through ventilation ducts to avoid the crew, wondering how far she should trust the overly helpful AI. Or will result in it assisting her capture? Not to mention fretting about being framed for the crime she witnessed, or how justice is even structured in this section of the unknown universe? Plus the all consuming mysteries of how she got here, and if it'll be possible to hitch a ride back home to Earth?

Join Maddie in this space opera as she explores the cosmos...if you enjoy damsels that turn the tables on their nemeses over damsels in distress.

Spaceships and Sentience is the first book in a series which explores the alien cultures of an intergalactic Empire. In addition to featuring a "fish out of water" scenario (or should we say, a Canadian off of Earth?) it also contains themes which centre around the trial-forged bonds of found family and what makes justice...just? It's for readers who love offbeat violence-avoidant heroines, socially awkward androids, and spacefaring adventures where humour and danger collide. There's also banter, sarcasm, characters being scolded for blathering on about how FTL travel and other space engine stuff works, situational irony, and the occasional unaliving. You have been warned.
