Sky Hunter

"Storytelling at the edge, a small planet, military, dust, rebellion, star crossed lovers and betrayal all form an outstanding story. I couldn't put this one down. " (From over 1,924 Amazon reviews) 

If the tether falls, it won't just break—it will tear the planet apart.

Air Command pilot Nova Whiteside is assigned to guard Skyranch Twelve, a massive orbital station anchored to the surface by a space elevator—humanity's most ambitious engineering feat, and its most vulnerable target.

The rebels want it destroyed. The Union wants it protected at any cost.

Far from the order of Union air fields, the frontier garrison runs on fear and brutality, and Nova quickly finds herself at odds with a ruthless ground commander. When a violent uprising cuts her off behind enemy lines, her only ally is Djari—a civilian whose faith in the Union has been shattered.

But the real danger isn't on the ground.

Aboard Skyranch Twelve, something is wrong. Cargo moves without record—and no one asks why. Protocols are ignored. And when Nova uncovers what's really happening on the station, she realizes the rebellion may only be the beginning.

If the tether falls, it won't be an accident.
