Orion citadel: Book Two in the Kuiper Series

Two groups of survivors have emerged from the aftermath of pirate's rampage: Those who see this as their last moments alive and are determined to enjoy themselves at all costs, and the loyalists under the command of Athena.

The loyalists have secured the Nemesis Endurance, ordered to do so by their leader and they fervently guard it against the marauders who are set on their path of self-destruction. The remnants of the Butchers faction wait aboard the commandeered pirate vessel for the Master Technician's return. He is the only person who knows how to reinstate the corrupted operating system so that they may head back to civilised space and perhaps freedom.
