Gray World: Stealing Fire by Simon Vigneault
Faider unraveled the codes driving the whirling storms of an ancient artificial sun. He now spends his days in bitter self-destruction, staring at that arcane sun whose abundance is maddeningly out of reach, due to the blindness of the very people paying him to find access to it. Adriana hasn't given up on Faider. She silently rebels for them both, against the Sun Cage boxing in his spirit, is covertly bending its bars for him. But it's up to Faider to step through the gap.
In Westpoint, New Skye, on the dying hope of planet Skaha, a drunken Vagabond is lying unconscious in a park. Once a renowned waveseer, Vagabond has fallen to the depths, knows firsthand, as a failed hypocrite, the full range of human hypocrisy.
Shyfoil, true warrior daughter of Skaha, embraces and knights Vagabond for exactly his convoluted, compromised virtues. In the silence of his eyes she finds solace from the murder in her heart, and through his waveseer skill, which fuses quantum elegance with magical arts, she discovers he is also a worthy ally in espionage.
Together they must decide whether to trust an alien client who would charge them with stealing a most unusual, mathematical fire, and perhaps thereby honor the memory of a dead, gray world.

The G.O.D. Factor a novella by Rachel V. Olivier
During one of Monica's shifts, a dormant A.I., part of an old starship class known as Galactic Orbital Dreadnaughts, or G.O.D., that Engineer Belukas thought was safely turned off, wakes up. After years of isolation and hibernation it is more insane and lonely than many of its cohorts had been during the era when they had been used in a galactic war. It truly thinks it is God. It takes over the ship and decides it's time to go bring order to the rest of the universe for the good of humankind. It's up to Monica to try to get her other crewmates out of an A.I.-imposed deep-freeze stasis, and together with them take back the ship and save themselves and known civilization.
If possible.
If it isn’t already too late.
