Earth is dying and its first starpilots are the only real hope.
Tasha has survived five years of brutal training, her body transformed by a nano-technology no one fully understands.
Her job: link Earth to the stars in a ten millennia old wreck, train the first-ever crew from Earth, and build a space station fit to trade with the stars. Without the eco-system stabilizing tech interstellar trade can bring, the price of her failure will be the end of all life on Earth.
But as corporate interests, terrorists and even journalists oppose her day after day, it is beginning to look like an impossible task.
(nota : based on the first reviews, it is better to read this book in sequence after human starpilots and interstellar starpilots)
