Flashing Dark

This is an Apple Books audiobook narrated by a digital voice based on a human narrator.

Space Marines call it flashing dark, that moment when someone waking from cryo sleep is seized by terrible memories from their past.

Those flashbacks—of the time when flesh traders held her and her little brother, Anthy, prisoners—have plagued Vivi Zant all her life.

Now a bungled rescue has put another child in danger and she's partly to blame. If she pursues 'the kid' onto the depths of the Moneyworld, where humans are forbidden, she could destroy the Earth Alliance and its allies.

Ruthless, power-hungry aliens, bitterly resisting allies, and smart-mouthed Frairys, however, are no obstacle to a determined spacer. Vivi couldn't save her little brother; she's not about to let that happen again.
