Just finished reading Stealing Light by Gary Gibson and it was pretty good.
Set in the future where only one alien race , The Shoal, possesses the secret to Faster-Than-Light travel that they are graciously letting the human race use but don't want them to have.
Then a derelict spacecraft is discovered that contains Faster-Than-Light of non-Shoal origin and the race is on to salvage it.
Quite interesting to read and I loved the artificial skin technology that envelopes the wearer when there is no atmosphere.
Don't think it is available from US ebook stores but I bought it from WH Smiths during their recent sale.
