When your BFF is a sentient spaceship, it’s easy to run away from your problems… but when they finally catch up, it’s with a vengeance. Mona Luu was a middle-aged live-ship captain who didn’t have time for anyone’s crunk.
She and Dragon, her sentient alien spaceship/best friend, traveled Sol System to sell the ‘magic’ charms she bioengineered out of alien goo to suckers. The normies called her 'Witch' and she went with it. Being spooky got her creds.
Mona came and went. Here for the space fair, and then gone. Maybe she’d have time for a drink or a date with someone who knew the rules—
Don’t make romantic demands.
Don’t bring up her family.
Don’t trap her in any way.
She was living her best life, free and happy. There was no history to make things ugly, no responsibility-- just fun.
Then some stowaway kid heard Witch and decided Mona was the hero she needed to save her family's live-ship.
A live-ship who'd helped her when she was at her lowest. A man she'd loved when she still believed. A villain who made her the way she was.
What in the holy singularity, the cataclysm, and everything in between? She really didn't have time for this crunk.
First off its nice to finally find a sci-fi book with a FMC . In this story we follow Mona (Witch) and her sentient ship Dragon as she goes from con artist to hero. The connection between crew and ship through a symbiotic link is a great twist on space travel we usually get from a sci-fi book
