"The Solar System ain't what it used to be! In the far distant future, Saturn's rings are gone, Mercury is a gas giant, and Earth is remembered only as a unit of measure. Nearly godlike AIs reshaped the Solar System in eons past, but they too are now nothing more than a fading memory. Captain Nathaniel Kade cares for none of that. He's but a simple freelancer from the orbital ring of Neptune, struggling to make ends meet and to keep his understaffed spaceship from falling apart. All he wants is a decent, uneventful job to help put his finances back in order. What he receives instead is Vessani S'Kaari, a mysterious and beautiful cat girl who tried-and failed-to steal a ship belonging to a band of space pirates. Vessani's in over her head and is clearly more trouble than she's worth, but she also has a lead on what may be the greatest treasure trove of lost technology the Solar System has ever seen. Nathan pulls her butt out of the fire, and together they begin to assemble a team to seek out this long-lost bounty. But other interested parties have their eyes on the same prize; the Jovian Everlife has dispatched a fleet of warships with one of their elite, many-bodied agents in command, and he'd like a few words with Nathan and his new crewmember"--

"The Atlas Corporation was all set to tear apart the planet Mercury-converting its resources into a swarm of solar-collecting megastructures-when Esteban Velasco, lead Atlas engineer, is found dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. Detective Isaac Cho and Special Agent Susan Cantrell, both eager to return to active duty despite close calls on their last case, are sent in to assess the situation. Their superiors expect a simple declaration of suicide, but Velasco's death proves anything but typical. The detectives soon find themselves embroiled in a mystery far more complex-and strange-than anyone expected, leading them to a church for Mercury-loving weirdos, a "nudist" colony open to Saturn's unbreathable atmosphere, an exclusive park for hunting dinosaurs, and a ghost town where forgotten machines wage war over condo floorplans. What was meant to be an easy return to duty for the detectives takes a sudden dark turn when ruthless mind-hackers ambush and nearly kill them, making one fact crystal clear: If they don't solve this case soon, it'll be their corpses that turn up next"--
