“The year is 2575, and two rival
megacorporations are at war over a planet that’s little more than a speck at
the edge of the universe. Now with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and
Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to evacuate with a
hostile warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A
plague has broken out and is mutating with terrifying results; the fleet’s AI
may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what’s really going
on. As Kady hacks into a web of data to find the truth, it’s clear the only
person who can help her is the ex-boyfriend she swore she’d never
speak to again.” –Amazon
