Overview from Barnes & Noble:
Labor organizer Padma Mehta is on the edge of
space and the edge of burnout. All she wants is to buy out a little rum
distillery and retire, but she's supposed to recruit 500 people to the Union
before she can. She's only thirty-three short. So when a small-time con artist
tells her about forty people ready to tumble down the space elevator to break
free from her old bosses, she checks it out — against her better judgment. It
turns out, of course, it was all lies.
As Padma should know by now, there are no easy
shortcuts on her planet. And suddenly retirement seems farther away than ever:
she's just stumbled into a secret corporate mission to stop a plant disease
that could wipe out all the industrial sugarcane in Occupied Space. If she ever
wants to have another drink of her favorite rum, she's going to have to fight
her way through the city's warehouses, sewage plants, and up the elevator
itself to stop this new plague.
Didn't read it? Come anyway!
The conversation is always good.
