How Dark the Void - Sallee, Jason

. .

Résumé :
How Dark the Void is an epic space opera featuring a smuggler's race to survive as the world he's come to know collapses around him. The Void. That is what we call her. She is cold and without emotion and does not care if you live or die. She is the space between systems, without life and without a sun to warm her. She is dangerous, but we accept the dangers in exchange for the freedom and independence she offers. The Void was free of Corporate involvement for the most part. But that was changing. We felt it closing in on us. Jlaeal is a successful smuggler, but his world is thrown into chaos when the three Corporations who rule the galaxy make peace amongst themselves, and send their fleets into the Void to destroy the outlaw stations. As the fleets take out station after station, Jlaeal finds fewer places to run. Then he meets a Diviian pirate named Renlii, and though it's the worst of times to fall in love, he finds himself questioning everything he thought he knew about living in the Void. To further complicate matters, a mysterious hero named Trask arrives with plans to save the Stations, but Jlaeal and Trask have a dark past, and Jlaeal believes him to be just as dangerous as the Corporations. How Dark the Void is a man's personal battle for freedom, truth, and love. Through this epic journey we discover just how dark The Void can be....
