Dangerous Warmth

Описание: When a quiet outer-rim station comes under attack, Security Officer Lira Teth is ready for raiders, smugglers, and drunk tourists—not for the infuriating human engineer who keeps breaking her routines.

Jax is bigger, louder, and far more reckless than anyone on K-17, with a “hold my drink” attitude to engineering problems and a talent for dodging every question about where he’s really from. But when raiders hit the docks and the station’s systems start failing in all the wrong ways, Lira is forced to team up with him to keep thousands of people alive.

As they fight their way through darkened corridors, hacked defense grids, and trapped civilians, Lira discovers that Jax’s people are a hyper-advanced, supposedly “non-interfering” civilization—and that someone in orbit has quietly aimed a clean-up weapon at the station. To save everyone, Jax has to break every rule his people live by… and Lira has to decide how much she’s willing to trust the brilliant idiot.

If you like grounded sci-fi, found-family vibes, and reluctant partnerships under fire, this one’s for you.
