Description
Priscilla 'Hutch' Hutchins has finally achieved her dream: completing a nerve-bending qualification flight for a pilot's licence. However, her timing is far from optimal as faster-than-light travel has only recently become a reality and the World Space Authority is still learning how to manage long-range missions safely.
With efforts to prepare two planets for colonization killing off native life forms, interstellar pilots are not in high demand. Despite this, Hutch's ambition won't be denied, and she soon finds herself on the bridge of an interstellar ship, working for a corporation responsible for terraforming. Her mission takes her to a world adrift between the stars, where she encounters a life form unlike anything humanity has ever seen.
As Hutch navigates this uncharted territory, she will be part of a life and death struggle that tests not just her capabilities but also her character. With bomb threats, sabotage, and clashes with her employers adding to her workload, Hutch must confront the harsh realities of interstellar travel and the true cost of exploration.
