Freedom Awaits, but the Consortium is Watching

When rogue drones threaten citizens and the ship’s crew falls ill, the Recorder answers their call for help, once again drawing scrutiny from the Consortium.

With no other option and under an Elder’s overbearing watch, she returns to Pallas Station where she nearly lost her life in the hope of finding something—anything—to save her friends and countless others. Her friends are determined to keep her safe, but for the Recorder, saving others comes first, no matter the cost.

"McCrumb’s lyrical prose and gentle insights into the heroine’s gradual deprogramming valuably counterpoint the solid technological milieu...this intelligent celebration of humanity’s capacity for love and self-sacrifice takes the series to impressive new heights."
