Microbiologist Graysha Brady-Phillips accepts an offer to assist in terraforming the planet Goddard for two reasons: she needs the hazardous duty pay, and she hopes the planet's colonists can provide a cure for the genetic disorder that is slowly killing her.

But such genetic engineering has been banned for decades by the powerful Eugenics Board, and Graysha is that board's high commissioner's daughter. When the colonists discover this, she isn't surprised that they ostracize her, for the penalties for conducting their radical research could include death. Graysha continues her work and tries to befriend the colonists, but soon she is dodging attempts on her life.

Even as Graysha questions whether her hope is worth the peril, she realizes she has grown attached to her new world. But that world is threatened, and Graysha must decide what she is willing to sacrifice: her security and professional hopes, or her new faith and even newer love.

Kathy Tyers has published ten novels in the Christian and general markets, including two authorized novels for the Star Wars expanded universe, as well as a biography and a travel book. If she isn't writing, she might be teaching a flute lesson, mentoring a hopeful author via the Christian Writers Guild, or battling quackgrass in her vegetable garden. Kathy lives in Montana and has one grown son.

Reviews

"The characters are gripping, the plot arresting, the storytelling impeccable." — Romantic Times
"A woman scientist, Graysha Brady-Phillips, migrates to a cold space colony called Goddard, where colonists have managed to extend the average lifespan to 150. Like Earth itself, Graysha is dying, but the cure offered by Goddard scientists may be worse than the disease, at least in ethical terms." — Booklist
"Smooth pacing and fully-developed characters . . . Fun, scientific mystery in the tradition of Asimov." — R.J. Sullivan, The Reluctant Famulus
