A healer's oath knows no species.

Doctor Waverly Keller is the chief medical officer of the starship Initiative?a red setter with a soft heart, steady paws, and an unshakable commitment to saving lives. Even lives the rest of the crew might prefer she didn't save.

When a crashed Archidopteran vessel yields a single, badly injured survivor in "I, Hive," Dr. Keller faces her most challenging patient yet: a frightened insect drone from a hostile species, alone among strangers who can't even speak her language. But as broken limbs are mended an unexpected bond forms?one that could reshape the future of two civilizations.

Then in "Gone, Not Forgotten," Dr. Keller uncovers a mystery that begins with a missing child and spirals outward until it seems the universe itself is unraveling around her. The doctor must face a terrifying question: what if the people you love were never there at all?

Stories of compassion without borders, and a mother who never stops fighting for the ones who need her most.
