But loyalties are uncertain in their group of steadfast comrades and tentative new allies, and it’s difficult to know who to trust in the tangled web that awaits them in Artemis, a city on the Moon rich in Korean history and haunted by ghosts from Teo’s and Ocean’s pasts. Further complicating matters are Haven—the pensive medic whose beliefs challenge Ocean’s—and the dashing Phoenix—a space raider who’s come blazing into Teo’s life in more ways than one. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAll the while, Corvus, the real culprit behind the slaying of the Anands, is sowing a path of destruction that threatens to swallow the solar whole.

As a genre fan, Cho filters the oddball crew of a \u003ci\u003eFirefly\u003c\/i\u003e, the swagger of Buck Rogers, and the sweep of \u003ci\u003eThe Fifth Element\u003c\/i\u003e through the lens of her Korean heritage to create a work unlike anything before it.
