Chill
Sometimes the greatest sin is survival.
The generation
ship Jacob’s Ladder has barely survived cataclysms from without and
within. Now, riding the shock wave of a nova blast toward an uncertain
destiny, the damaged ship — the only world its inhabitants have ever
known — remains a war zone. Even as Perceval, the new captain, struggles
to come to terms with the traumas of her recent past, the remnants of
rebellion aboard the ship still threaten the crew’s survival.
Yet
as Perceval’s relatives Tristen and Benedick play a deadly game of cat
and mouse in pursuit of a traitor through a vast ship that is renewing
itself in strange and dangerous ways, an even more insidious threat is
building in a place no one ever thought to look. And this implacable
enemy could change the face of the ship forever if a ragtag band of
heroes cannot stop it.
