Dead Reckoning (Audiobook)

Months out into an uncharted region, the survey ship Endurance loses her captain to sabotage and every link to home in the same hour — no relay, no charted lane, no line back. Command falls by emergency authority to a Geneva diplomat who has never run a ship, while the one officer who could hold the deck is the one nobody picked.

Cut off, outnumbered, and bleeding systems she can't replace, the Endurance has to find her own way back the oldest way there is — by dead reckoning, trusting nothing but her own logged track and the nerve of a crew that isn't yet a crew. Every choice costs something that doesn't come back.

New to R. S. Breed? This is one of several front doors into the Fracture Cosmology, and the one for readers who want a problem solved under pressure — a standalone story that stands entirely on its own. Read it first, or read it alone; both work.
