In the not-too-distant future, Earth is gone-wiped out by a meteor. What's left of humanity now lives aboard a fleet of colossal worldships, each the size of a city. Every need is met: health, security, food, entertainment, employment. And yet...
Where people go, corruption follows.
Yasmine Dufont wants to escape her life of squalor. Just one perfect heist-one Crpto-Bond worth a million creds-and she can live in peace on the luxury Worldship Abstinence, floating in its eternal serenity pools.
Sam Gablinski wants anything but the boredom of his life, operating an airlock that an AI could run. Every day, he watches passengers head off on adventures he'll never have.
Detective Zhang Wu wants to be a good cop-but his addictions have left him deep in debt to the ruthless Vice-Captain Helga Sveinsson, who uses him for… other jobs.
Helga Sveinsson wants power. And she's tired of serving under the arrogant, toxic Captain Jefferson. She'll do whatever it takes to seize control.
And down below-deep in the rusting lower decks known as the Elfors-Councillor Abdul "The Angry" Shariff is leading a rising tide. Descendants of the illegal refugees crammed into the ship's bottom levels before launch, the Elforists have lived for generations in darkness. Abdul has built power, wealth, and influence. Now he wants the one thing the fleet refuses to give:
Freedom.
Greed. Desire. Lust. Pride. Envy. The sins within us all will collide in a dazzling sci-fi adventure of chaos, class warfare, tragedy, and twisted humour.
