Jane’s in the prime of her career-she’s only a bit over a century old-but the conflict between politics and life-support is tearing her apart.
And if that wasn’t bad enough, an AI that spawned during the emergency has gone rogue…and there’s a giant x-factor in the form of the transhumanist Viridian cult that lives in Phocaea’s bowels. Jane discovers that the crisis may have been engineered by the Martian crime syndicate, as a means of executing a coup that will turn Phocaea into a client-state. A mishap has dumped megatons of water and methane out the colony’s air lock, putting the entire human population at risk. Jane Navio is the resource manager of Phoecea, an asteroid colony poised on the knife-edge of a hard vacuum of unforgiving space.
