Beyond the Void Vol. I East of Nowhere

The first in a debut Sci-Fi series, Beyond the Void, by Jessica J. Richardson. 

Raised in a corrupt society of our solar system, perpetuated by the elite class, the stars hold a special place in the heart of Blade Rayna; an ex-Space Legion pilot who is serving a life sentence in a work Penal Colony on Leda, Jupiter's smallest moon. An intergalactic war, started by the avarice of humans, ended in a hotly debated peace treaty. Humanity now is left to explore their own greed among the nine planets and their moons. 

The treat border, known as the Void is vast and forbidden to mankind. No one crosses without notice. Blade, stuck on Leda dreaming of his days in the cockpit, believes he'll never fly again. Blade and his bunkmate, Chigs, are assigned outpost duty when a mysterious object abruptly enters their side of the Void and crashes on Leda. They embark on an innocent venture to claim salvage. Instead, what they find will force them to escape and send them into the Void and beyond!
