Deep in space, smuggler Kiyoshi Yonezawa stumbles on a mysterious ship fragment. And it talks to him.

On Vesta, Space Corps agent Elfrida Goto is suffering through a punishment posting to the boondocks of the asteroid belt.

The colonized solar system in the year 2286 has a freewheeling frontier culture, but it isn't big enough for humanity and AI. When a theft at the University of Vesta reveals a sordid plot taking shape far from Earth, Kiyoshi and Elfrida join forces to stop the looming threat to humanity's survival. Racing through space, and across the surface of the giant asteroid, they must expose the truth behind the Vesta conspiracy, before it destroys thousands of lives… starting with their own.

The Vesta Conspiracy can be read as a standalone adventure. Chronologically, it's the second novel in the Elfrida Goto Trilogy, Volume I of the well-reviewed Sol System Renegades series.
