Recent engineering graduate Jessyn Skye has all summer to look for a job on his remote colony world -- and he's ready to waste every minute of it. There are parties to crash, test ships to fly, and a planet full of tropical beaches.
Few people know the painful secrets behind his easygoing attitude, however. While attempting to confront an old trauma, he's lured into helping his brother finish an unorthodox invention. Can Jessyn learn to navigate the beautiful new abilities of his bizarre mind? Or will his own preconceived notions -- and the unwanted attentions of the interstellar government -- hold him back?
What starts as a clandestine experiment between friends, ends up changing the fate of their world.
