4.9/5 (30380 ratings)

Description:Caroline Cassandra Williams is on the fast track and determined to stay there. A financial analyst in one of the mega-global corporations, she's stayed one step ahead of her enemies to keep from losing her place as a valued salaryman - and two steps in front of those colleagues who would grind her down in a nanosecond to reach the next rung of economic freedom. Even though she's clawed her way out of the Insulae, where the working poor are warehoused, she keeps herself grimly focused with nightmares of losing her job. Or being frozen into a shipsicle and shipped to the Outer Rim as an expendable drudge. Or, worst case, going bankrupt and dying slowly as the authorities harvest her limbs and other body parts.When the multiplanetary company she works for sends CC to audit Vesta Colony to learn why assets keep hemorrhaging away, she knows this is her big chance to make the Ultimate Career Move. Assuming she gets the facts and pins the crooked trades, and any other crimes she finds, on someone - or a bunch of someones - she can turn in with a clear conscience, she can go home first-class, collect her fiance and a fat bonus, then march down the aisle in a perfectly event-planned wedding into a prosperous-ever-after twin career track. She's already even planned vacations with their children-to-come at the theme parks on Easter Island, the cofferdams surrounding Disney World, and the Gobi Dinosaur Pavilions. If CC succeeds, she's set for the rest of her life.But Vesta turns out to be unlike anything CC has ever seen, and the deeper she delves, the more twisted things get, until her life - not to mention her career - hangs in the balance. As plots unfold into more plots, CC finds herself confronting not just possible insider trading and fraud but attempted murder.Who's behind it all? She's got a colony of suspects, including old friends, old rivals, and a dashing EarthServ pilot who knows a whole lot more about CC and her worlds than he's letting on.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
