Mari Parenteau was eight years old when she was inserted into the astronaut training program with an international crew of scientists, specialists in the fields of astrophysics, botany, and engineering. Six years later, she wakes from her stasis coma sleep aboard the international space station, Oberon One, now in orbit between Ganymede and Callisto, on a long-term expedition to explore and investigate Jupiter and its four Galilean moons of Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Six years lost and gone... a childhood abruptly shortened against her will. She wakes in the shadow of a stormy planet, wondering why she is here and what her purpose is. Is she just NASA's "first teen in space"?

Before she really begins to find her place and her identity on the Oberon One, she wakens to alarms and warning lights and sealed hatches and emergency lights... and the station's A.I. computer, M.A.C. with horrific news and imperative demands. To survive, Mari must do more than has ever thought possible. Her survival will come to depend upon wits, courage, and her life support.
