But powerful forces have seized control of her invention. A globe-spanning corporation has taken the credit for its discovery. And on a distant orbital platform a secret hive of children, trained from birth to use the new technology, are using borrowed android bodies – “proxies” – to stage a stunning coup against an interstellar mission. But they need Carli to carry out their plan and have sent a deadly cyborg hunter to track her down.
