Kat Severn is a daughter of privilege, born to money and power.
Half her relatives are military legends, the other form the
political and economic power running Nu new England, the principle
city of the post-war, early 22nd century Federation of America,
Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. She has been raised
only to be beautiful and marry well, but looking for a chance to
prove herself through merit, rather than connections, Kat decides
to join the Fleet, against the wishes of her powerful parents. If
ensuring she doesn't disappoint her family's high expectations
wasn't enough, Kat is soon leading a mission to rescue a kidnapped
child. Then she and her high-tech computer Safi are sent into
Alaska where a volcanic eruption has caused famine and a complete
breakdown of society. After varying degrees of success, Kat leads a
rebellion against her commander to prevent a cohort of military
hawks from turning a peaceful ceremony into a bloodbath, with
repercussions that can only herald another war. For Kat, failure is
not an option.
