Summary: Following years in front line combat, a disgraced hero is posted to the remote ice plains of Pluto on her toughest mission yet: to oversee a small, dysfunctional research team.

Billions of miles from civilisation, and on the edge of infinity, the crew face insurmountable threats, meet unspeakable villains, and generally get on each others’ nerves.

Oh, and that war may be closer than Falconer thinks…
