The Boundary Zone

by A.B. Keuser

Mackenzie Flack plays with live wires for a living--both on and off book. For the last six months, she’s spent her downtime stealing decommissioned parts from a space station in the midst of tear-down. There’s no quicker way to acquire an excess of cash. And cash is what she needs to get her hands on the classified details of her brother’s demise.

When attack fighters and buckling bulkheads threaten everyone in the lower levels, she abandons her final acquisition to save them from a date with the void. But, as the old adage goes, every good deed deserves a knife in the back.

Illegally drafted, Mackenzie is expected to fill her brother’s rank, as well as his uniform. But the answers she’s looking for may lie with the man her crew is sent after….

A man who claims he’s a member of the extinct alien race her brother was obsessed with.

About the author

A. B. Keuser grew up watching too many episodes of Star Trek and too many John Wayne movies. That's where this whole thing started.

Excellent scifi adventure story, but bad editing

I gave the story five stars, but the editing deserves only two. There are multiple continuity problems, too many pronoun mistakes to count, and sections were extremely confusing. I loved the characters, the world building, and the story, but I can't recommend Zone unless you are a tolerant reader.
