For Lynne Fenlay, Mars has always been a place of exile. A refined, Earth-born telepath thrust into the rugged, lawless frontier of the Red Planet, she struggles to reconcile her civilized sensibilities with the raw, uninhibited spirit of the Martian colonies. To Lynne, the Martian way of life is crude and chaotic—until the chaos turns deadly.
When a wave of psychic violence strikes the Nampura Depot, leaving telepaths dead and minds shattered, Lynne’s specialized talents are no longer just a professional asset—they are a target. Driven by a trail of mental echoes and a sense of mounting dread, she and the reckless, rugged Rolf Marcein embark on an unauthorized journey to the frozen, desolate reaches of Callisto.
