    Summary

    Michael had sat in the chair of the Shenzhou enough times to know the weight a ship could unleash upon a first officer. The gravity of that same ship on its Captain must feel like a black hole, and even though Michael knew Airiam would learn how to shoulder it in time, she could see the doubt in her every move, hear it in every faint trill and thrum. And Discovery was in no way gentle. She’d torn into every captain that had ever ventured to break her, tested and tried them, judged them then cast them aside. Inadequate. Incompetent. Imperfect.

    -----

    With the Federation scrutinizing her fiancée's every move, Michael Burnham fights to salvage Airiam's inaugural mission as Captain of the USS Discovery after a temporal crisis in the Delta Quadrant separates them from the Glenn and leaves them in search of the lost starship Voyager, an admiral, and a crew that won't exist for another 117 years.

    Sequel to "The Resonance of Risk."
