Inhaltsangabe

Grace Donner is a protector, certified by compstate to uphold the law. She is utterly out of place on Ceres, the hub of a rough mining frontier in the asteroid belt. There, the law is loose and justice is a matter of interpretation. But it’s exactly the sort of place that might provide the best protection for Tim Trouncer, her AI friend. Away from compstate oversight, she hopes to wait with Tim for a freer political climate on Earth. Mhau Tapang is the chief engineer on Bode-6, one of the most lucrative slushing colonies on the dwarf planet. She has thrived in her job there, but seen many others caught in the undertow of Ceres life. Until now, she has taken a closed-eyes approach to her work in the bode, but the arrival of an idealistic young protector opens old wounds. Both women walk a tightrope, representing the law and working outside of it. The balance cannot be kept forever.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Corey grew up in Southern California with two loving parents, two dogs, two rabbits and many cats. He found nirvana in 1979 by bubbling Hollerith cards in FORTRAN and sending them to the LAUSD mainframe computer for subsequent compilation. He published his first commercial software in 1983 with the release of Gold Fever for the VIC-20. He attended the University of California, Irvine, graduating with a BSME in 1988. His engineering career has exposed him to F/A-18 flight simulators, mass transit control systems, financial markets and retail. A serial entrepreneur, he started his first company in 1982 (Interesting Software), an initial public offering analytics firm with his wife in 1996 (Alert-IPO!) and tackled comparison shopping with a group of friends in 1999 (Pricegrabber). Corey married Nenita in 1995 and they have one son. They live in New Hampshire where they enjoy their summer gardens and their winter snow. Corey’s hobbies include piano, accordion, and skunking Nenita at cribbage. Corey and Justin have been friends since 1978. Justin Pecot III, a graphic artist and writer by trade, is a fan of science-fiction, fantasy and comedy genres. He is an outspoken and mostly anonymous critic of evil and chaos. Justin resides near the pounding surf of Pacific City, Oregon with his wife Arwyn and their daughter, Hannah Rose. Justin attended California State University Dominguez Hills, Carson, as well as Los Angeles Harbor College where he majored in journalism and public relations. He is a musician who specializes in ‘playing many instruments badly’, as well as an actor, who, for several years, convinced thousands of Renaissance Faire patrons that black dudes with glasses existed in Elizabethan England.
