From the world of Wake Cycle - When Keshen Abara fled Helix Consolidated, he took two things: evidence of a corporate program that destroyed medicine while children died, and a guilt he's carried for two years without acting on either. Now captain of a battered cargo ship called the Secondhand Kindness, he runs grey market medicine to stations the corporations have abandoned. Alongside a crew of fellow outcasts: Yeva, the former corporate bodyguard who killed two colleagues to get him out; Seli, a Veeshi navigator separated from her scattered clan; Decker, a mechanic haunted by a daughter he couldn't save; and Quill, an android learning what it means to be a person rather than property. When Helix's hunters finally catch their trail, Keshen must decide whether to keep running or finally use the evidence he's been carrying, a choice that will put everyone he loves in the crosshairs of a corporation that treats human lives as line items on a spreadsheet.
