Fearless / Allen Stroud.
AD 2118. Humanity has colonised the Moon, Mars, Ceres and Europa. Captain Ellisa Shann commands Khidr, a small escort and rescue ship with a crew of twenty-five. When she picks up a distress call from the Hercules, a supply ship, three days out of Phobos station, she decides to investigate. What she finds will push her, her crew, and her ship to the brink of destruction. The Hercules is drifting dead in space. But there is another ship nearby, one that is decidedly not dead. In fact, it seems all too ready--and eager--to destroy the Khidr. Under attack by an unknown enemy, and fearing treachery from her own crew, Shann will need all the skill and courage she has if she wants the Khidr to survive.

Summary
Fearless
"Fast-paced, gripping hard SF with death in hard vacuum waiting at every turn." -- Arthur C. Clarke Award winner Adrian Tchaikovsky AD 2118. Humanity has colonised the Moon, Mars, Ceres and Europa. Captain Ellisa Shann commands Khidr, a search and rescue ship with a crew of twenty-five, tasked to assist the vast commercial freighters that supply the different solar system colonies. Shann has no legs and has taken to life in zero-g partly as a result. She is a talented tactician who has a tendency to take too much on her own shoulders. Now, while on a regular six-month patrol through the solar system, Khidr picks up a distress call from the freighter Hercules... FLAME TREE PRESS is the new fiction imprint of Flame Tree Publishing.
