The Nathan Daniels Saga: Part 8

By: Sam Lippert

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

To outrun the past, he must first destroy every echo. To save him, she must rediscover who she truly is.

Haunted by ghosts and the silent accusation of a dead comms panel, Nathan Daniels makes a brutal choice: erase the history of the Nola and chart a course for oblivion. From the desolate, slag-scarred surface of a forgotten mining world to the brutal anonymity of a backwater bar, Nathan dives headfirst into the fringes of the galaxy. But even amidst the grit and grime, the laughter of lost crewmates and the wisdom of a cynical AI refuse to be silenced. Every mile traveled is a step further from who he was, and closer to a truth he may not survive.

Meanwhile, Remini, princess of Kalifet, rejects the opulent cage of her royal destiny. Defying her formidable Empress mother and a galaxy-spanning manhunt led by the relentless Admiral Sokolov, Remini trades her royal yacht for a patched-up freighter and sets out on a desperate mission. With the unwavering loyalty of Devka, a seasoned security officer, and the sharp wit of Tranda, a comms expert with an encyclopedic knowledge of the galactic underworld, Remini gambles everything on her intimate knowledge of Nathan's habits and his heart.

As Nathan pushes his ship to the edge of the known grid, seeking not a destination but an absence, Remini and her unlikely crew close in. The hunt leads them through the bustling, treacherous space lanes of Axis to the unexpected sanctity of New Zion, a world Nathan once despised.

Part 8 of The Nathan Daniels Saga plunges deeper into the raw, emotional core of a captain adrift and a princess transformed. Can Remini find Nathan before Sokolov claims his prize, or will they both be lost to the unforgiving vastness—and the past—they desperately try to escape?
