ARGONAUT BOOKS

When Gyre Price lied her way into this expedition, she thought she'd be mapping mineral deposits, and that her biggest problems would be cave collapses and gear malfunctions. She also thought that the fat paycheck - big enough to get her off-planet and on the trail of her mother. It kept her sane. Instead, she got Em. Em sees nothing wrong with controlling Gyre's body with drugs or withholding critical information to 'ensure the smooth operation' of her expedition. Em knows all about Gyre's falsified credentials, and has no qualms using them as a leash - and a lash. And Em has secrets, too.
