The Sequel to Boundary. Space Adventure by a New York Times
Best-Selling Author and a New Star of Science Fiction.
When the strange fossil she'd discovered had ended up giving her a trip
to Mars, Helen Sutter thought she'd gone about as far as any
paleontologist would ever go in her lifetime. But when you've also
married A.J. Baker, overconfident super- sensor expert for the only
private agency in space - the Ares Corporation -- and your best friend
Madeline Fathom Buckley is a former secret agent who's just signed on as
the chief of security for the newly created and already embattled
Interplanetary Research Institute of the United Nations, there's always
somewhere farther to go.
The newest discoveries will take her, A.J., and their friends Jackie,
Joe, and Madeline to the mysterious asteroid Ceres - and beyond, in a
desperate race to Jupiter's perilous miniature system of radiation-
bombarded moons. The next gold rush is on - for alien technology, hidden
in lost bases around the system. And there are people willing to do
anything to get it - even plan the first interplanetary war, four
hundred million miles from home!
