CHAPTER 1 - SYDNEY

As a reclusive genius who only works from home, Sydney was used to taking on some weird consulting jobs to keep the bills paid. But when her latest clients turn out to be shape-shifting aliens offering a cure for her cancer in exchange for a 30 year job in deep space, weird is only the beginning. Thrust into the role of accidental space pirate, reluctant hero, and pawn in an ancient galactic war, Sydney's life has become a light-speed scramble between the impossible and the apocalyptic.
