Phaet Theta has lived
her whole life in a colony on the Moon. She’s barely spoken since her
father died in an accident nine years ago. She cultivates the plants in
Greenhouse 22, lets her best friend talk for her, and stays off the
government’s radar.
Then her mother is arrested.
The
only way to save her younger siblings from the degrading Shelter is by
enlisting in the Militia, the faceless army that polices the Lunar bases and protects them from attacks by desperate Earth-dwellers. Training is brutal, but it’s where Phaet forms an uneasy but meaningful alliance
with the preternaturally accomplished Wes, a fellow outsider.
Rank high, save her siblings, free her mom: that’s the plan. Until Phaet’s logically ordered world begins to crumble...
