Unfortunately, the Corp has labeled Jax a terrorist and sent bounty hunters after her. Soon she finds herself traveling with a motley crew who’s determined to find and train a source of jump navigators outside of the all-powerful Corp. She knows she’s going to be used as a scape goat for the whole thing, so she takes him up on the offer. She’s close to breaking when a man named March shows up and gives her the opportunity to escape. She’s having trouble remembering the vital moments of the crash in order to figure out what happened, and the psych docs seem to think that the best way to provoke her memory is to make her relive the crash–over and over and over. Bad enough that her pilot, also her lover, was killed, but now it seems like the corporation is going to blame the crash on her. Recently she was the jump space navigator on a ship full of diplomats, and it crashed and burned, leaving her the only survivor. Unlike most others with the gene, she’s gone more than 10 years without any sign of burnout. Sirantha Jax has the rare J-gene: she’s able to guide ships through jump space, enabling quick space travel.

I’m finally reading Ann Aguirre’s Grimspace (Sirantha Jax, Book 1) ! I’ve heard wonderful things about it, but just hadn’t gotten to it before now.
