Description
A strange new technology that nobody really understands is transforming the world industry by industry. Now it is poised to bring humankind to the stars. Amelia Gravis, a precocious mid-teen, never able to accept "It just works!" for an answer, refuses to accept the opinion of the experts. Pushing the bar, she finds herself deeper and deeper in trouble as she refuses to be silenced. With the looming launch of a probe to the next star system, Amelia discovers that having the truth isn't enough to get people to listen, especially when reputations and careers are on the line. This is the first book in STARNET, a series that tracks the emergence of humankind from a Sol bound species to a people spread across the stars.
