Publisher's summary
A math wunderkind from a breeder-world slum will sacrifice anything to become a soldier—even her own identity.
Born into a society sculpted by endless war, Gaby dreams of fighting on the front lines. But the Intelligence Division has other uses for her talents, and sends her to witness a top-secret training exercise on an experimental starship.
Once aboard, a violent mutiny overtakes the ship, leaving Gaby alone to protect the ship’s secret weapon: Passenger, a symbiotic artificial intelligence that—when joined with a compatible human—can hack other AIs, turning the tide of any battle, perhaps even the war.
But the only way to keep the AI out of the mutineers’ hands is to keep it in her head, and Passenger wasn’t meant to stay integrated with a human for long.
With no rescue in sight, and the barrier between Gaby’s mind and the machine’s deteriorating, she must do more than evade capture: She’ll need to fight back.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 3,706
It’s 1984, and life has changed beyond recognition. Airstrip One, formerly known as Great Britain, is a place where Big Brother is always watching, and nobody can hide. Except, perhaps, for Winston Smith. Whilst working at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history, he secretly dreams of freedom. And in a world where love and sex are forbidden, where it’s hard to distinguish between friend and foe, he meets Julia and O’Brien and vows to rebel.

Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

I couldn't stop!
I might have avoided doing things I was supposed to be working on because this book was so good! I fell in love. The story was fabulous, heartbreaking, heartwarming, intriguing, everything a good book should be. The narrator is one of my favorites, bringing the story to life in her usual flawless way. I didn't have a single complaint - other than, why isn't there more?? Big fan!
