Suddenly Li is chasing a killer in an alien world miles underground where everyone has a secret. And a mining “accident” that is starting to look more and more like murder. A missing dataset that could change the interstellar balance of power and turn a cold war hot. A dead physicist who just happens to be her cloned twin. But no memory upgrade can prepare Li for what she finds on Compson’s World: a mining colony she once called home and to which she is sent after a botched raid puts her on the bad side of the powers that be. And Li should know she’s been hacking her memory for fifteen years in order to pass as human. But that’s what backup hard drives are for. UN Peacekeeper Major Catherine Li has made thirty-seven faster-than-light jumps in her lifetime-and has probably forgotten more than most people remember. From a stunning new voice in hard science fiction comes the thrilling story of one woman’s quest to wrest truth from chaos, love from violence, and reality from illusion in a post-human universe of emergent AIs, genetic constructs, and illegal wetware.
