Description

Mari can't wait to start her first job in space, even though her choice causes a rift with her astrophobic family on Earth. She expects gravity sickness to be the worst of her problems in orbit – until she meets an unbearably condescending Spacer and stumbles upon a hack that threatens the lives of everyone on the new Jupiter data station. Now she's dodging accusations of sabotage while her space career explodes on launch.

Andre's work on the Sol system's ambitious new data gateway is almost complete when the sector Admin arrives with news that puts everything he's built at risk. Andre is absolutely certain that the new, clueless Earther is involved – and he's determined to tear down her stubborn walls to get to the truth, no matter what it takes.

Soon, Mari and Andre discover that the real danger lies in a power struggle between humans, gods, and the devils who would turn our solar system into dust. Can these two polar opposites form bonds strong enough to save humanity from a new stone age? Or will forces from the beyond tear them apart, dooming humanity with them?
