When 16- year-old Jaren Christian runs away from home, she is prepared for the nano-drugs, prostitution and net running-and she's okay with it. She is sick of the blissful New Utopian planet she was raised on, and just wants to live in a real world. Her new bio-ware in place, she leaves home on her shuttle, bound for the Night City to find her ex-stepbrother. But when she ends up on the run, with the secrets of an inter-galactic mega-corporation locked in her head, no way to hack them out, and the son of a powerful crime lord bent on making her his property, Jaren quickly discovers what reality really means.

❖ Interstellar pilot and ex-adventurer Alex Gallegos must keep their team safe on an icy moon as sentient storms threaten to repeat the tragedy that ended their last career. ❖ Everyone in the United Inhabited Solar Systems (for some reason, UIS for short) knows to stay away from Mahaha. The icy moon is notorious for failed probe landings and research missions that end in tragedy: the only people to ever venture to its surface needed rescuing after just two weeks. When a prestigious research group decides they want a turn, they ask Alex Gallegos to lead the team. Perfectly qualified and haunted by their past, Alex accepts, hoping to make up for old mistakes and get just a little further from the earth they've left behind. Two months into the seven-month mission, the team is struggling with discontent, damaged equipment, and blizzards acting less and less like normal weather. As Mahaha moves out of range of help and the storms take on a more malicious character, Alex must face the one foe they could never have prepared for. Mahaha may or may not be alive. ❖❖❖ Complete.
