Synopsis

The Interdependency is a vast interstellar empire connected by the Flow — a network of faster-than-light pathways that is about to collapse. As the streams begin to shift, a new empress, a scientist, and a cunning merchant must navigate political intrigue and corporate warfare to save billions of lives before the pathways vanish forever.
