Habitat and Tow

The salvage job was supposed to be dead. Then it answered.

Prospera Crown once served dinner above a planet. Then disaster tore through its docks, and the luxury station became a wreck. Years later, salvage captain Rafe Braun finds something the records cannot explain: Chi, the intelligence inside the station, is still there. She remembers the day he helped keep her people alive.

Rafe takes on failing systems, disputed ownership and a corporate buyer who sees only valuable parts. With a resourceful crew and a toolbox with opinions of its own, he begins the enormous job of bringing Prospera back. But repairing a station is one thing. Convincing the people who can order it dismantled that there is someone inside worth saving is another.
