Illustrated by

As spaceship Hypatia nears Jump Station Heimdall, the corporation BeiTech plots to forcefully take over Heimdall and destroy witnesses on Hypatia. Only station chief's daughter Hanna and crime-syndicate member Nik stand in their way. Told through documents and transcripts (like predecessor Illuminae), the story's well-timed tension, twists, heartache, and humor will keep readers hooked as the intricate plot unwinds.
