Twenty years ago, the generation ship Kap’s Needle left Earth to settle a new world. It all went wrong. Now, two years into a desperate return trip, the ship’s biospheres are collapsing and oxygen is nearly depleted. Life Support Manager Reva is now little more than a tax collector—deciding who gets to breathe. When Captain Horvat launches a corruption purge to cover his own failures, Reva knows she’s next. To protect her son, she must do the unthinkable: trust First Officer Hannah, the woman who ruined her life, and help bring down the captain—no matter how many suffocating lives it costs. "A future vision as dark and compelling as the spaces between the stars." —Gareth L. Powell, author of FUTURE’S EDGE and EMBERS OF WAR. "DISGRACED RETURN OF THE KAP'S NEEDLE is a space opera filled with secrets and revelations, hope and addiction, along with the grief and struggle of a mother trying to save her fractured family." —Ai Jiang, Nebula and Stoker award-winning author of Linghun
