In a universe where hope dims like a dying star, one man's loss becomes his ultimate quest for redemption.
Asteroid belt miner Collier South has hit the nadir of existence. Once a beacon of idealism in the cold, unforgiving expanse of space, he's lost everything: the love of his life, an alien artifact that had promised great change, and his irreplaceable companion, Sancho, the sentient ship's computer. In the aftermath of tragedy, Collier finds himself at a crossroads-haunted by the specters of his past and the vast, uncharted territories of space that call to him once more.
The discovery that nothing is ever truly lost reignites Collier's resolve. Armed with the recovered alien artifact, a beacon of untold power, he sets out to reclaim his ship, his friend, and his purpose. With the aid of unexpected allies and an unbreakable bond with Sancho, Collier embarks on a journey that will take him to the edges of known space and beyond.
In a race against time and destiny, can Collier South mend the fabric of space itself, or will his final gambit unleash forces that could shatter the fragile peace of the cosmos?
Industry Reviews
"I'm a fan of this author and I am fan of this series. If you like sci-fi like Alien, Firefly and the Expanse, about hardworking, regular folk trying to eke out a living amongst the dangerous cosmos, look no farther than Sean O'Brien's Beltrunner saga. What really struck me the most about Sean's writing style is the excellent character development. I especially enjoyed the relationship between the gritty miner and his faithful artificial companion. I'm already looking forward to the next installment." -- Bestselling Author, Jack Castle

"Fans of The Expanse and other hard sci-fi novels will find a lot to like in this action packed quest to discover the origins of an ancient artifact. Sean O'Brien builds a captivating world populated with working class characters thrust into a confrontation with a mega-corporation. Definitely recommended." -- Michael Prelee
