Thanks so much for your support :) Kas Balera is used to a bit of chaos. As a space bounty hunter, capturing three Class-2 criminals should have been the most difficult part of her week, but when a disaster of epic proportions rocks the entire solar system, Kas is thrust into the midst of an adventure far beyond her wildest fantasies. With the help of a federal robot, a child genius, and her trusty ship - the Calista - Kas must use all her quick thinking and sharp wit if she's going to stay alive and uncover the new dark and dangerous mysteries of the galaxy.

(Highest ranking #254 in Sci-fi) Michael Livingstone is a literal intellectual prodigy born at an unfortunate time when artificial intelligence has replaced the human workforce, with the only exceptions of art, humanities, and AI development industries. Trust is deteriorating in society with the increasing frequencies of assaults, deception, and terrorism by and against the globalized national government. Michael always relies on his intellectual talent with space and perception along with some of his dauntless risk-taking spirit to escape danger in this society. However, Michael soon finds out that this situation involves way more players, variables, and conflicts of interests than he could calculate. This situation is so much more complex than a protest against unemployment, in fact it is a life-and-death matter -- the survival of humanity's civilization.
