Star Nomad (Fallen Empire, Book 1) by Lindsay Buroker
I read this science fiction novel when I was traveling back in April. Star Nomad by Lindsay Buroker is a fun, satisfying story that promises to be the beginning of a great intergalactic adventure, empire versus rebels style.

It reminded me of Star Wars media novels in a good way. You’ll probably like this story if you care for Firefly, too. In an alternate universe where Firefly wasnt cancelled, Lindsay Buroker’s got hired as a writer in season 5 when they needed a fresh take on a show that was in danger of growing stale.

Join fighter pilot Captain Alisa Marchenko as she journeys to resuscitate a clunky old freighter and rejoin her daughter on her home planet. It’s a good thing the war ended after she got injured. The galaxy is safer after a war ends…right?
