After a culture of surveillance has taken control of the galaxy, it's
up to an eclectic group of misfits from disparate corners of the cosmos
to rediscover the forbidden concepts of life, love, and liberty.
The Helix was created to revolutionize the way we communicate. But even
the purest of intentions can spawn terrible evil.
Lithia Boson never wanted to join some grand rebellion against evil; she
just wanted to escape from her abusive aunt Petra and take her little
brother Bobby with her. But when the United Planets of Earth find out
that the lone passenger on her little cargo ship is a rogue agent from
the U.P.E. with knowledge of exactly how deep the government's control
of society goes, she isn't given a choice.
Far from home and with no one she can call on, Lithia must turn to a
group of ragtag freedom fighters and refugees for help--but who can she
really trust when they are the reason her life stands in ruins and she
doesn't even know where her brother is?
Out among the planets of the frontier, Lithia is caught up in events far
bigger than her--events she doesn't really understand--but Lithia has
always been a survivor. To rescue her brother, Lithia will find the
strength she never knew she had and go further than she ever thought
possible.
