Advancements in cybernetics have left the lines between man and technology a blur. Enhanced machines were expected to serve the people, until those machines usurped the people. When the streets surrounding her home erupt into a battlefield between the insurgent cyborgs and the government that wishes to control them, Ellery Kent hadn't thought that she would be considered the enemy. But with the one defining feature separating her from the rest- a single, luminescent, blue eye- she finds herself isolated from everything she has ever known, and dependent on a people she once considered far beneath her. ********** © 2017 AaPThomps all rights reserved.

Alone and labeled a terrorist, Celeste stowed away on the cargo starship belonging to a man nicknamed 'Moon', a loner and cynical ex-military engineer who would rather be left alone. Powerful corrupt forces feared the precious package she carried and spared no expense or atrocity to hunt her down.
