(1983-    ) US author whose Shieldrunner Pirates sequence begins with Barbary Station (2017), a Space Opera set in a distant Near Future where Earth has suffered defeat in an interplanetary war. Escaping this desolate world, the protagonists, long-time partners who are Black and lesbian (see Race in SF; Sex), travel by Starship in Suspended Animation to a Space Habitat named Vesta, which is dominated by a murderous rogue AI, which must be defeated. It is. But in Mutiny at Vesta (2018), the two discover that their habitat has been purchased by a giant corporation; their escape and eventual triumph occupies a final volume, Gravity of a Distant Sun (2020).
