Synopsis

IN A TECH-DRIVEN FUTURE INVOLVING SPACE, LEARNING TO SURVIVE MATTERS

Bess Fielding has a natural affinity for life in space. But that doesn’t mean that she—and her beloved, Alex Jeffreys—don’t have things to learn about survival in space.

So when a mysterious roundabout suddenly appears on the screens of space station DIR 1, what’s going on—and to what degree is it connected with increasing incidents of sabotage in different production laboratories on space stations and the Moon?

OF ARCHANGELS AND FUZZY GREEN MASCOTS—Tragedy strikes on space station DIR 1 when a bomb takes out a crucial production wing. As Bess and Alex investigate, they discover that the alien artifact, the Gizmo, that is supposed to be securely confined on Earth—may not be. And that discovery opens up even more concerns.
