Stealth tech: a lost science everyone wants to reclaim. The woman who helped Boss dive the Dignity Vessel, known then as Squishy, claims a long and storied history with stealth tech. Her research into the lost science caused deaths before, and she failed to prevent more during a fateful dive. Now, she vows to find a way to destroy the technology once and for all.

Coop and Boss want to keep stealth tech out of the Empire’s hands, too, but for different reasons. “Stealth tech” powers Coop’s ship in the form of its anacapa drive. A drive that malfunctioned, leaving Coop and his crew stranded. But to find a way home, he must know what happened in the past.

When Squishy’s actions threaten Coop’s mission, he must make a choice—help Boss attack the Empire, or risk losing his hope for a future.

Praise for Boneyards:

“Rusch follows Diving into the Wreck and City of Ruins with another fast-paced novel of the far future.”

—Publisher’s Weekly

“Filled with well-defined characters who confront a variety of ethical and moral dilemmas, Rusch’s third Diving Universe novel is classic space opera, with richly detailed worldbuilding and lots of drama.”

—RT Book Reviews

Industry Reviews

“The Diving Universe, conceived by Hugo-Award winning author Kristine [Kathryn] Rusch is a refreshingly new and fleshed out realm of sci-fi action and adventure.” —Astroguyz

“Kristine Kathryn Rusch is best known for her Retrieval Artist series, so maybe you’ve missed her Diving Universe series. If so, it’s high time to remedy that oversight.” —Analog

“This is classic sci-fi, a well-told tale of dangerous exploration. The first-person narration makes the reader an eye witness to the vast, silent realms of deep space, where even the smallest error will bring disaster. Compellingly human and technically absorbing, the suspense builds to fevered intensity, culminating in an explosive yet plausible conclusion.” —RT Book Reviews (Top Pick) on Diving into the Wreck

“Rusch delivers a page-turning space adventure while contemplating the ethics of scientists and governments working together on future tech.” —Publishers Weekly on Diving into the Wreck

“Rusch keeps the science accessible, the cultures intriguing, and the characters engaging. For anyone needing to add to their science fiction library, keep an eye out for this.” —Speculative Fiction Examiner on City of Ruins

“Rusch’s latest addition to her Diving series features a strong, capable female heroine and a vividly imagined far-future universe. Blending fast-paced action with an exploration of the nature of friendship and the ethics of scientific discoveries, this tale should appeal to Rusch’s readers and fans of space opera.” —Library Journal on Boneyards

“Rusch follows Diving into the Wreck and City of Ruins with another fast-paced novel of the far future… [Rusch’s] sensibilities will endear this book to readers looking for a light, quick space adventure with strong female protagonists.” —Publishers Weekly on Boneyards

“…a fabulous outer space thriller that rotates perspective between the divers, the Alliance and to a lesser degree the Empire. Action-packed and filled with twists yet allowing the reader to understand the motives of the key players, Skirmishes is another intelligent exciting voyage into the Rusch Diving universe.” —The Midwest Book Review on Skirmishes

“A skillful blend of science fiction and murder mystery which keeps ratcheting up the stakes.” —Worlds Without End on The Falls

“[The Runabout] is so good, it will make you want to read the other stories.” —SFRevu on The Runabout

“By mixing cerebral and investigative elements, emotional character segments, and the adrenaline of action, Rusch tells a complete yet varied tale that will please science fiction readers looking for something different from the usual fare.” —Publishers Weekly on Searching for the Fleet
