City of Ruins
Boss, a loner, loved to dive into derelict spacecraft adrift in the blackness of space...
But one day, she found a ship that would change everything — an ancient
Dignity Vessel — and aboard the ship, the mysterious and dangerous Stealth Tech. Now, years after discovering that first ship, Boss has put
together a large company that finds Dignity Vessels and finds “loose”
Stealth Technology.
Following a hunch, Boss and her team come to investigate the city of
Vaycehn, where fourteen archeologists have died exploring the endless
caves below the city. Mysterious “death holes” explode into the city
itself for no apparent reason, and Boss believes Stealth Tech is
involved. As Boss searches for the answer to the mystery of the death
holes, she will uncover the answer to her Dignity Vessel quest as
well — and one more thing, something so important that it will change her
life — and the universe — forever.
