Butsurviving in the North American Wildlife Preserve isn't easy, especially for the unconnected who can be shot on sight by border patrol robotdrones. Through the guidance of their eccentric old neighbor Mrs. March, Grey and Rin get through by smuggling contraband into the Mazdaargovernment's city zones.

But when Grey is captured by themerciless General Evangeline Yurkutz and is forced to become bait forher mother and father, she questions everything she thought she knewabout her life in the Preserve and her missing parents. Is it possibleJupiter isn't uninhabitable? And could this planet, whose sky swirlswith orange vapors and where extinct-on-Earth creatures roam free, holdthe key to reuniting her family?
