On the Run (Verity Chronicles Book 3)

Sometimes the past is best left buried.
Breaking the rules got Joe Anderson kicked out of the TSS and shipped back to his primitive home planet, Earth. Captain Iza Sundari is left on the Verity, struggling to keep the crew together.
When the environment of an outer colony planet begins mysteriously transforming, Iza and her crew are faced with a puzzle that only they can solve. Unfortunately, the mission soon puts them on the radar of the TSS--but Iza's learned a thing or two about how to circumvent the law.
To avoid capture and find Joe, Iza will have to come to terms with her family history to save her future. If she fails, not only will Iza lose any hope of reuniting with Joe, but she'll ignite a galactic war.
On the Run is the third installment in the Verity Chronicles, a space opera adventure series set in the Cadicle Universe, perfect for fans of Firefly, Dark Matter, and classic space adventure.
