Something that threatens to reveal Ten's worst nightmare: the truth of who she really is and what she is running from. But something else waits in the darkness at the universe's edge. Their road won't be easy: they must cross the moon's lawless wastes, facing military hit squads, bandits and the one-eyed leader of an all-female road gang, in a frantic race to get the General to safety. The pair bury their hatreds and strike an uneasy deal to smuggle the General off-world. Worse, Ten realises the crash was an assassination attempt, and that someone wants the Ortiz dead. The result of a military genetics programme, she is a decorated Army General, from the opposing side of the war to Ten. One night, attempting to atone for her sins, she pulls a teenage girl - the sole survivor - from the wreck of a spaceship. She's desperate to escape her memories of the interstellar war, and the crimes she committed, but trouble seems to follow wherever she goes. Ten Low is an ex-army medic, one of many convicts eking out a living at the universe's edge.
