The Gravity Gambit (Gravity Core Chronicles, #2)

Six months after the Korrath Station job, Kira Voss and her crew are living on borrowed trust-and borrowed time. When stolen data points to the oldest Gravity Core ever recorded, the score is impossible to ignore: a derelict research station hanging in the warped orbit of a black hole, where every hour inside costs seven on the outside.

The prize could buy their freedom. It could also answer the one question Kira can't stop circling-what really happened the night Sable died.

But the station isn't empty. Its fragmented AI has spent centuries studying the Core and whispering a terrifying theory: the Cores aren't just power sources-they're shards of the Barkas Great Voice legend, a buried consciousness someone may be trying to rebuild... or weaponize.

Now Kira must pull off a black-hole heist against a clock that doesn't play fair, a mind that won't stay quiet, and an unseen collector hunting Cores who's always one move ahead.

A high-stakes space-opera heist packed with found-family tension, cosmic secrets, and a relentless ticking clock.
