Stealing Light product reviews

For a quarter of a million years, an alien race has been hiding a vast and terrible secret.

In the twenty-fifth century only the alien race known as the Shoal possesses the the secret of FTL, faster-than-light travel, giving them absolute control over all trade and exploration throughout the entire galaxy. mankind has operated within their influence for two centuries, establishing a dozen human colony worlds scattered along the conventional Shoaler trade routes.

Dakota Merrick, while serving as a military pilot, has witnessed atrocities for which this alien breed is responsible. Piloting a civilian cargo ship, she is currently ferrying an exploration team to a star system containing a derelict starship. From it's wreckage, her passengers hope to salvage a functioning FTL drive of mysteriously non-Shoal origin. But perhaps the Shoal are not yet ready to relinquish their monopoly over a technology they acquired through ancient genocide.
