On the planet Sask-E her mission is to terraform an Earthlike world with the help of her taciturn moose Whistle. But then she discovers a city that isn't supposed to exist hidden inside a massive volcano. Torn between loyalty to the ERT and the truth of the planet's history Destry makes a decision that echoes down the generations.Centuries later Destry's protege Misha is building a planetwide transit system when his worldview is turned upside-down by Sulfur a brilliant engineer from the volcano city. Together they uncover a dark secret about the real estate company that's buying up huge swaths of the planeta secret that could destroy the lives of everyone who isn't Homo sapiens. Working with a team of robots naked mole rats and a very angry cyborg cow they quietly sow seeds of subversion. But when they're threatened with violent diaspora Misha and Sulfur's very unusual child faces a stark choice: deploy a planet-altering weapon or watch their people lose everything they've built on Sask-E.
