The ship who dared / Mercedes Lackey, Veronica Giguere.
"A new entry in the beloved series that started with Anne McCaffrey's The ship who sang. Hoping to upgrade their capabilities on a shoestring budget, Brainship Tia and her Brawn Alex accept a contract to test a prototype singularity drive from the military. There's a catch, of course: the drive "might" occasionally commit a starship to "random" jumps. ... The drive works flawlessly, at first. Just as they start to relax, the drive places them in orbit around a partially abandoned research site. Partially, because the corporation that set it up abandoned the researchers there. Brain and Brawn rescue the researchers, but what is the reward for a ship who saves an abandoned station? Well, if you're working for the Central Worlds, it's a long, dull, and not very profitable courier route. One that results in more--not less--crises and danger for our intrepid Brainship as the random jumps continue"-- Flap page 1 of dust jacket.
