They are called floaters. Humans born and raised to withstand a zero-gravity environment and work in space for the Corporations as little more than indentured servants. Ostracized by the prejudices of "grounded" people, the floaters have created a culture and society of their own. But now they want their freedom. Thiadora Murphy was born a floater. She has spent the past six years adapting to the rigors of life in gravity, among the "normal" population, and is about to graduate from the military academy as a top pilot. But floater prejudice and distrust are everywhere, and a revolution is dawning. Murphy's promising military career is cut short by sabotage. Murphy has to accept the offer of a powerful corporation to pilot the experimental spacecraft "Gambit", which has dangerous secrets. (adapted from the back cover of the first edition)
