Books like Star road by Matthew J. Costello
After years behind bars, Ivan Delgato—once commander of the rebel faction known as the Runners—is released by the World Council on a covert condition: journey to the distant planet Omega IX and offer conditional amnesty to any Runners who surrender. The mission grows personal when Ivan’s ruthless brother now leads the renegade faction. Traversing the interplanetary Star Road aboard Vessel‑66, Ivan shares the cramped deck with a collection of suspicious travelers, each with hidden motives. As they face lethal trials among the stars, distrust mounts against Ivan, and the Runners are forced to choose between the two brothers. On Omega IX, amidst ancient mysteries, the survivors confront revelations that could forever change the Star Road and humanity itself.
