Amazon.com description: Product Description: Priscilla Hutchins has been through many experiences.
This is the story of her first unforgettable adventureâ¦
Â
Priscilla âHutchâ Hutchins has finally realized her lifelong dream: Sheâs completed a nerve-bending qualification flight for a pilotâs license.
Â
Her timing is far from optimal, however. Faster-than-light travel has only recently become a reality, and the World Space Authority is still learning how to manage long-range missions safely. To make matters worse, efforts to prepare two planets for colonization are killing off native life-forms, outraging people on Earth.
Â
So thereâs not a lot of demand for space pilots. Priscilla thinks her career may be over before it has begun. But her ambition wonât be denied, and soon she is on the bridge of an interstellar ship, working for the corporation that is responsible for the terraforming.
Â
Her working conditions include bomb threats, sabotage, clashes with her employersâand a mission to a world, adrift between the stars, that harbors a life-form unlike anything humanity has ever seen. Ultimately, she will be part of a life-and-death struggle that will test both her capabilities and her character...
