Young Adult

When a coming war tears sixteen-year-old Hadrian Jin away from his home, he finds himself in the midst of intrigue and betrayal. Possessing a terrible secret, chased by spies and wanted by the cops, with only his cousin and his skills as a low-gravity flyer to help him, he must somehow survive and find a way home...before it's too late to stop the war.

Meet Maura. Cypher. Crudrat. Grown too tall, alone in a spaceport with no use for her, doomed to starve. With only her crud-eating murmel and an alien monster to help her, she must find a way to survive, or escape, before they catch her and blow what's left of her life, and her companions, into space.
