About the Book
It's ten years later, and Joat, the eleven year old technodemon is an
adult herself, and by hook, crook, and blackmail (with an assist from
Rand, her very own Artificial Intelligence), she's become one of the
youngest commercial ship owners in human space.
Using the good
ship WYAL (for While You Ain't Looking) for various motley "transport"
jobs, she has quickly gained a reputation as a trustworthy courrier
with a flexible approach to the rules. Which is why Central Worlds
Security has recruited Joat and the WYAL to determine the present
whereabouts of the Kolnari space raiders, with whom Joat has an old
score to settle.
But Belazair of the Kolnari has his own plans
for revenge through an incurable and highly infectious disease that
quickly destroys the higher brain functions, leaving the body a
mindless husk. Belazair needs to find a carrier ship to spread the
infection - and the carrier he has hired is Joat, who is completely
unaware that she is receiving a deadly cargo which could destroy
civilization throughout the galaxy!
