She was born to kill, born to die.
Crescent is a crowhopper--a genetically modified mercenary
programmed for ruthless warfare. When she's taken prisoner by
Crater Trueblood instead of being killed in battle, she thinks it's
a disaster.
Crater is weary of war. He's a miner, not a soldier. He'd rather
be mining Helium-3 than battling the infernal crowhoppers. But
after he captures Crescent and brings her to Moontown, he's
surprised how much he enjoys her company. When she's falsely
accused of murder, he becomes an outlaw to help her escape.
The unlikely pair escapes into the "big suck" and wind up
trekking with a caravan of mining pioneers toward a lunar ghost
town called Endless Dust. To survive, they must do more than
navigate the beautiful, desolate moonscape and battle a persistent
band of crowhoppers sent to capture or kill them. They must decide
what--and who--is truly worth fighting for.
"Expertly blending space opera and hard sci-fi, romance, and
even mystery . . . this is fast-paced, packed with intriguing ideas
. . ." --Peter Gutierrez, "Booklist" Review
"Classic Golden Age science fiction high-adventure. It brought
back memories of reading Asimov . . . that same sense of wonder. I
absolutely loved it." --Michael Scott, "New York Times"
