AUTHOR’S WEBSITE: When Gaea Consortium offers Graysha Brady-Phillips a tour of hazard duty on a raw pioneer planet she leaps at the chance, even though her predecessor died — a victim of either the savage weather outside the domes or the fanatic population within. But Graysha isn’t on Goddard just to collect triple pay. She’s trying to save her life. The colonists’ radical — and illegal — science just might offer Graysha a cure for the genetic disease that’s slowly starving her at the cellular level. But Goddard’s terraforming pioneers, pursued by the Eugenics Board for gene tampering and battling Gaea Consortium for their very survival, are naturally suspicious of outsiders — especially someone connected to the two organizations that are trying hardest to destroy them. The settlers think Graysha’s a spy. Graysha thinks the settlers are trying to kill her. They’re both right. And the fate of their planet hangs in the balance.

AUDIBLE: Microbiologist Graysha Brady-Phillips accepts an offer to assist in terraforming the planet Goddard for two reasons: she needs the hazardous duty pay, and she hopes the planet’s colonists can provide a cure for the genetic disorder that is slowly killing her. But such genetic engineering has been banned for decades by the powerful Eugenics Board, and Graysha is that board’s high commissioner’s daughter. When the colonists discover this, she isn’t surprised that they ostracize her, for the penalties for conducting their radical research could include death. Graysha continues her work and tries to befriend the colonists, but soon she is dodging attempts on her life. Even as Graysha questions whether her hope is worth the peril, she realizes she has grown attached to her new world. But that world is threatened, and Graysha must decide what she is willing to sacrifice: her security and professional hopes or her new faith and even newer love.
