Quantum Fold #3
Quinn of Cygnus: Shockwave
Adulting sucks like the big black hole of Andromeda.
Just as Q is about to reunite with her Lightwave family, she ends up alone and friendless in uncharted space. Hal, the AI who controls her ship, is too busy fighting off another AI to even answer her questions. As food, water and power dwindle, Q tries to help, and it all goes wrong.
Convinced she’s a danger to all, Q strikes out to make her own way in the universe. A young woman alone draws the wrong kind of attention and Q must develop new skills and strengths to protect herself. A chance encounter and poor decisions put her in even more trouble.
Surviving will take all she’s got. Escaping will take more than she can imagine. Saving others will require sacrifice beyond comprehension. But Q does nothing by half measures.

Life can be dark sometimes and this excellent story reflects that darkness. Q, the bright, brave and foolhardy, gets herself into terrible circumstances in this book. Will she eventually prevail? If so, at what cost?

Quinn has some solo travel and challenges
I like the way the author does not pad the stories. She cuts right to the results and moves the plot along.
A good exploration of Quinn’s growth and emotions v
