The Void
At the ends of known space, on the edge of darkness, a space station floats in the emptiness. It is a place out of legend... and a symbol of pure evil. Two hundred years ago Captain Melissa Harvey brought genocide across the galaxy before all the known worlds banded together to kill her. Professor Vichna Lashke, along with a crew of marines for hire, has searched far and wide looking for the captain's fabled lost treasure. Now that they've found it, all they need to do is go into the station known as the Void and get it. That's when the nightmare will begin. That's when Vichna and her crew will need to fight for their survival. That's when they will discover there is far more in the Void than they ever thought possible

This is not my favorite DJ Goodman book, but I liked it. It's a book worth reading if you enjoy stories like Event Horizon. There are a lot of twists and turns, but the author gives sufficient clues to the final outcome of the mystery. The story is often gruesome. Characters die in very gory ways. By the time we hit the end, I wasn't surprised with how things turned out. It was still a bit of an emotional punch to the gut though. Don't enter this book looking for happy endings.
One very important part of the story is incorporation of the ability to change genders (or become agender) using a breakthrough scientific discovery. This idea has been touched on before by Ian Banks in The Culture series, but has a bigger impact overall in this story. Since the technology to switch genders is such an integral part of what happens, I wish there had been a more indepth look into why people would switch genders even if they're not transgender. Also, why would an entire group of people aspire to be agender? I feel like we barely skimmed the surface of a very intriguing world setting. I hope that DJ writes another book in this setting where we can delve deeper into the complexities she created in this universe.
