So who's Yoelin Thibbony? That's what she calls herself now. She endured a cruel and abusive childhood, when there was no one to rescue her. Now she performs Rescues of children, people or things-sometimes for hire, sometimes for free. In defeating a long-game conspiracy to take over Corporatia, Yoelin was compelled to leave a loose end. Now she finds that the conspiracy is not only still active, but is vaster than she had imagined-and the conspirators want their revenge! A strange communication from an unidentified source that requests a Rescue leads Yoelin into a trap, where she encounters a nemesis from her past as a Special Security Operative. Circumstances compel her to take him aboard the Sequana, but as an ally or an enemy, she remains uncertain. His subsequent erratic behavior fails to clarify his role, and she must remain on guard. Meanwhile, Abnoba, the Sequana's computer, becomes an entity unparalleled in the history of computers. Maybe Abby can save the day...at a terrible cost. But that cost pales in significance beside the betrayal Yoelin has to confront in her family. If she can survive that...but does she want to?

To do this, she has been gifted with special skills that make her invulnerable. Jordan Farrell, a white detective, has been selected to stay in an apartment in the 'hood to represent "police presence." None too happy about this, he nevertheless finds himself involved with the people who live there, and tries to help when he can, often going beyond the call of duty. His partner, Detective Jamaryelle Moore, supports him. Their caseload includes investigations of recent unsolved killings in the 'hood. Unknown to them, the killings are being carried out by Oliva Sudden-who lives next door to Farrell.

Yoelin's periphery is under attack, and she has to close down her chosen purpose in life-performing Rescues, of children, people, and things. Her investigation takes her into the sordid world of betrayal. Too many people want her dead-including her former boss in Corporatia Security; a crime boss who wants to force her favors in exchange for an old debt; and the head of one of the most powerful corporations in Corporatia. Her only allies are a former lover with his own agenda; a concourse deli operator; and a woman who has sworn to kill her, whatever the cost. As Yoelin strives to rescue herself, she stumbles upon a dark family secret: she may not be who she thought she was. But can she ever discover who she really is?

"The only records that delineate and authenticate Corporatia territories are on that Palmetto. We want it back.""What happened?" Yoelin asked."A records clerk bypassed security, recorded the information and then deleted it from our computers, and departed for Havelox Rest, outside our jurisdiction, where we believe she is now."After the words "Havelox Rest," Yoelin heard only the pounding of her heart. A wave of dizziness passed. Why there? Why did it have to be there?So who's Yoelin Thibbony? That's what she calls herself now. She endured a cruel and abusive childhood, when there was no one to rescue her. Now she performs Rescues of people or things-sometimes for hire, sometimes for free.

A quantum is a self-contained unit-of energy, light, and so forth. It exists in and of itself, irrespective of its surroundings. But it can be, and usually is, part of a team.A quantum woman, then, is a self-contained person, independent, yet willing to be part of a team if the right teammate comes along.Quantum women aren't superheroines with superpowers, they're not "chicks in chain mail," although they might be, as Pamela Sargent wrote, "Women of Wonder." For the most part, quantum women are everyday folks in a science fiction or fantasy setting. They might be home-makers or home-wreckers, homely or homey, but all of them are focused, determined, willful, and independent. To those who have men in their lives, they are partners and companions, equals and not subordinates.And yet, like any of us, they can find themselves in extraordinary situations where a bit of heroism can save the day. You'll encounter them on these pages.

The oceans have evaporated as the Earth warmed. It is a time of desolation as the remnants of humanity live in small settlements scattered on what once was the ocean floor.  Men are paramount, women are breeders. People do what they can to get by. One breeder dares to say "No!" to all this: Sarrow. Refusing to breed, and more skilled and resourceful than most men, she sets off to seek her identity and her destiny. Along the way she encounters Karthan, a kindred spirit. Like her, he searches for himself. They are equals.  But the elements conspire against them: earthquakes, salt storms, volcanos, flash floods. And there are raiding parties who seek to capture and sell slaves. Where are Sarrow and Karthan to go? Up, says Sarrow. I believe in you, says Karthan. Thus the perilous journey back to the land begins.
