Murphy's Gambit — Syne Mitchell

They are called floaters. Humans born and raised to withstand a zero gravity environment and work in space for the Corporations as little more than indentured servants. Ostracized by the prejudices of 'grounded" people, the floaters have created a culture and society of their own.

But now they want their freedom..

Thiadora Murphy was born a floater. She has spent the past six years adapting to the rigors of life in gravity, among the "normal" population, and is about to graduate from the military academy as a top pilot. But floater prejudice and distrust are everywhere, and Murphy's promising military career is cut short by sabotage.

Now, her options nonexistent and her survival at stake, Murphy must accept the offer of a powerful Corporation to pilot the mysterious and experimental spacecraft the Gambit.

And the Gambit's dangerous secret will bring her back to the floater community she left behind, a legacy she didn't want, and a revolution she cannot prevent....
