Cross the Sky: A Sapphire Sky Novel (The Sapphire Sky series! Book 1)

Some secrets should remain … hush-hush.

But who can ignore the fact that the lost starliner, “Aquila,” may be up for grabs?

For Lissaya Anning, force fields and sealed starship hatches are not obstacles but invitations. Freed from years of servitude and starvation, she seizes the chance for the heist of a lifetime. Can Lissaya’s crew retrieve Aquila before a hidden conspiracy upends their entire world?

Aquila isn’t just a lost ship—she vanished with a fortune in gold, palladium, and rare artworks. Yet, her cargo may also hold a deadly secret: a synthetic virus capable of triggering alien retribution and threatening humanity’s existence.

Amidst alien intrigue and the rift’s unpredictable dark-energy tides, Lissaya pilots the starship “Sapphire Sky” into the future. Are you ready to share her daring journey?

“Thought-provoking and hauntingly beautiful. Scott Azmus writes with a rare combination of intelligence, creativity, and originality. I was impressed by Mr. Azmus’ ability to keep the reader’s attention and his characters moving through a novel that is both engrossing and fast-paced.”

From the author of Lesser Beings, Significant Others, and Fire and Forget!

Cross the Sky echoes aspects of C. J. Cherryh’s Downbelow Station, Vernor Vinge’s A Deepness in the Sky, and Dewey Gram’s Ocean’s 11.
