    I just found this incredible book, Poisoned Star by Josh Tremino. I started reading it a couple days ago, and it's incredible.

    It's all about this girl who is forced to pilot an unstoppable warship for a race of xenophobic aliens. The aliens refuse to take any life themselves, so they force a proxy to kill in their name. Treya slaughters countless humans by their command. Any refusal on her part would be met with torture and death. After humanity comes up with a new weapon, a hacker sneaks aboard her ship and offers a choice she never imagined.

    This book left me wondering what I should go after next. Any suggestions?

    I really loved The Weapon Shops of Isher and The Weapon Makers (sequel) by A.E. van Vogt... but it's been ages since I last read it.
    I'm not that much into Sci-Fi otherwise :)

    Hmm it's a kindle e-book and the author has no other releases, perhaps you're right.

    2 post, ffs. spam. If the OP had of just introduced themself and told us of a scifi book they are trying to get published they would have more chance of getting us to buy it.

    Fair play to you though for bringing a month old topic back to the top and giving him more advertising.
