Internet Archive is a free audiobook of James Schmitz'
Legacy.

"Strange ancient machines possessing vast power have been discovered. Ruthless people want to control them. Governments, industries, and universities claw for jurisdiction, and scientists for discoveries and status. Trigger Argee just wants to go home and see her boyfriend. But first, she's got a lot of mess to sort out.

James H. Schmitz was known and loved for his interesting far future worlds, his flair for adventure and mystery, and his likeable strong female characters."
