About this book
Salvage pilot Haimey Dz makes a living combing derelicts at the galaxy’s fringes, until a discovery aboard a lost ship tangles her crew in ancient technology, contested history, and the attention of powerful factions. The narrative pairs big‑idea astrophysics and biotech with a wry, confiding voice, exploring autonomy, addiction, and what makes a good life. Amid chases and moral puzzles, a tender sapphic romance threads through the story, grounding the cosmic stakes in human connection. Intellectually chewy but welcoming, Ancestral Night offers the rigorous science and engineering detail of classic hard SF with the warmth, hope, and banter of found family.
