"The best installment in a first-rate thriller series." —Publishers Weekly, starred review

In this “spectacularly smart space opera” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) set in the same universe as the critically acclaimed White Space series and perfect for fans of Karen Traviss and Ada Hoffman, a space station begins to unravel when a routine search and rescue mission returns after going dangerously awry.

When his orderly life is shattered by friend's murder, Jason Talley inherits a sari and a trip to India. In the chaos, romance blooms with a fellow traveler as they unravel a suspicious death.

In a ferocious riff on women in comics, New York Times bestselling author Catherynne Valente subversively explores the ideas and themes of the superhero genre, treating them with the same love, gravity, and humor as her fairy tales. 

"This is Valente at her sharpest and most pointed." —Publishers Weekly
