Give Canada’s Master Warrant Officer Jenny Casey an inch
and she’ll take a galaxy. That’s just the kind of person a
world on the brink of destruction needs. The year is 2063,
and Earth has been brutalized. An asteroid flung at
Toronto by the PanChinese government has killed tens of
millions and left the equivalent of a nuclear explosion in
its wake. Humanity must find another option....
Perched above the devastation in the starship Montreal,
Jenny is still in the thick of the fray. Plugged into the
worldwire, connected to a brilliant AI, her mind can be
everywhere and anywhere at once. But it’s focused on the
mysterious alien beings right outside her ship. Are they
there to help–or destroy? With Earth a breeding ground for
treason and betrayal as governments struggle to assign
blame, Jenny holds the fate of humankind in her
artificially reconstructed hand....
