Illegal psyborg, Ross, is hiding in plain sight with the newest addition to his ship’s crew, fellow psyborg, enigmatic scientist, and accused terrorist, Eloise Knighton. He’s gained more friends, but they need allies if they are going to win the race to find and protect her sister and mother from the massive corporations that seek them. They have eluridite ore to mine and sell, a microferry lab to create, and a whole new paradigm of communication and cognition to explore – at least until Eloise manages to put their entire relationship at risk.
In the mean time, Ash, Eloise’s twin sister, is finding herself mired in more adventure than she ever bargained for when she throws the Maverovna’s lot in with a handsome, convicted terrorist. He might be the son and heir of the wealthiest man in the Sol system, but he also happens to happily represent the single, greatest entity standing against a corrupt UCF congress and the technocrats they support.
Hinterspace: In the largely lawless region between the belts, the ruthless are happy to take advantage.
