Keva Duste is a genetically and mechanically enhanced human built designed by the military. Left for dead when she overroad her control chip and disobeyed an order, she is rescued and hired by the mysterious Syndicate for a secret mission on the elite planet Terra Qar. As is so often the case with secret missions, she quickly discovers that there's a whole lot more going on than she suspected and it will take her dead friend's sister, a couple of AIs and the sexy Captain Hale and his merry crew

A casualty of this approach is one location, wh...
