Stranded in space: no fuel, no way home...and no one coming to help.

Nineteen-year-old Kitra Yilmaz dreams of traveling the galaxy like her Ambassador mother. But soaring in her glider is the closest she can get to touching the stars--until she stakes her inheritance on a salvage Navy spaceship.On its shakedown cruise, Kitra''s ship plunges into hyperspace, stranding Kitra and her crew light years away. Tensions rise between Kitra and her shipmates: the handsome programmer, Fareedh; Marta, biologist and Kitra''s ex-girlfriend; Peter, the panicking engineer, and the oddball alien navigator, Pinky.

Now, running low on air and food, it''ll take all of them working together to get back home.

Kitra is the firstbook in The Kitra Saga, which currently includes Sirena(September 2021) and Hyvilma (August 2023).

One starship, six friends, 10,000 lives in the balance

Young captain-for-hire Kitra Yilmaz has gotten her first contract: escort the mysterious Princess of Atlántida beyond the Frontier and find her a new world. It''s a risky job, fraught with the threat of pirates, dangerous squatters, and rising romantic tensions. 

Still, Kitra and her crew are up for anything - until they find a lush world, perfect for settlement...with an enormous ghost ship already in orbit.

What secret does the crippled vessel hide? And is Kitra ready to take responsibility for its precious cargo?

Praise for the Kitra Saga:

"[The Kitra Saga] has a lot to offer: a diverse crew, convincing alien worlds, and an overall sense of adventure and companionship - with all the ups and downs it comes with." - Robin Rose Graves, Parallel Worlds Magazine

"Kitra is successful in providing a compelling action/adventure tale while maintaining an emotional drive that proves to be the heart of the story... the reader is bound to fall in love with the characters and the relationships that develop along the way." - Dark Matter Magazine

A damaged ship, a dying shipmate-can she save them both?

Under attack! The flight back to Hyvilma should have been the easy part for the crew of the Majera-until a deadly ambush by pirates sends them reeling through hyperspace. Now getting to the planet in time is the only way Captain Kitra Yilmaz can save her dying friend.

But landing at Hyvilma may be impossible: war has broken out on the Frontier.

Surfing the New Wave

In the ''60s, the New Wave swept over science fiction. Women rode that wave and pushed beyond, into new waters.

These stories are darker, exploring psychological horrors in ways that their older sisters didn''t dare to. They''re innovative, playing with form and structure. They''re challenging, forcing us to confront the demons not just outside us, but within us.

Come Rediscover nineteen of the era''s best works-and dive into a whole new frontier.
