Blurb
Samsara’s dead have chosen Nel. And the cacophony calls for justice Archaeologist Dr. Nel Bently has never been farther from home. With a tenuous ceasefire from Lin’s rebellion force and genocidal Harris behind electrobars, Nel dares to hope she might finally return to Earth. But the nagging whispers that dogged her flight are much, much louder. Nel is no
stranger to giving a story and voice to the dead, but she never thought it would be so literal.
With the ghostly cacophony calling for justice, she and Lin set out across the sinister jungle of the Nalawangsa estate. The depths of the overgrown satellite hold the terrible secret behind Samsara’s ghosts, but unless she and Lin can work together, Nel will lose more than just her leg. And their incendiary relationship isn’t helped by the fact that Nel can’t decide whether she wants to kiss Lin, or blast her out the nearest airlock.
Dar is comatose, Emilio is exhausted, and the dead need a voice. But Dr. Nel Bently is far better at wielding her temper and trowel than her words.
