Ghosts of Colossus by Peter J. Foote

SPSFC 2024

Asa Kleve craved a life of intergalactic adventure. Instead, she’s tasked with babysitting a group of demanding scientists on the dead planet Cozore. But all of that changes when a rival galactic power attacks and kidnaps the scientists, leaving her for dead. Rescued from the rubble by an alien—one long thought to be extinct—Asa makes a pact with her unexpected new ally to save both their peoples before it’s too late. This dead planet may not be so dead after all, and Asa is about to find more adventure than she ever bargained for.
