Outworld centres around the story of Tihane Delaron, a space sciences engineer, who, having completed her training, starts her apprenticeship and eventual journey work. The three volumes consider the relationships and interactions that spring out of the circumstances crew members of a space ship, or outpost, face. These run the gamut from: fears and hauntings of childhood trauma, strange incidents, mysteries, accidents, confrontations, doubts, collaborations and, eventual resolutions. Throughout the three books, the character of an engineer, who happens to be female, is brought to life. So, too, do those of her enemies, colleagues and friends, in an intricate dance of human story-making.
