Blurb Alistella Pareides Caliday sacrificed her home to save it. Ten years after the devastating Solar Gulf War, former Bastion soldier Alis has built a new home on the utopic post-war, post-capitalist Earth with refugee runner and fellow survivor Toristani Arcay Orius. But that home, too, is on the verge of slipping away. Together, they ended the war, but not without consequence: defecting from Bastion and ejecting from her Aegis mech caused Alis’ state-installed mindjack to malfunction.
