Why Averill loves this book
A being born to work for a corporation terraforming a planet reclaims her body, mind, and planet for herself and the people around her. This is only my second Newitz book, but I think I love her approach to science fiction. This is a book about imperialism, gender, sexuality, revolution and resistance, environmental justice, but it’s also a book about love, friendship, and self actualization that captures a thread of pulsing existence in our current world.

Destry's life is dedicated to terraforming Sask-E. As part of the Environmental Rescue Team, she cares for the planet and its burgeoning eco-systems as her parents and their parents did before her.
But the bright, clean future they're building comes under threat when Destry discovers a city full of people that shouldn't exist, hidden inside a massive volcano.
As she uncovers more about their past, Destry begins to question the mission she's devoted her life to and must make a choice that will reverberate through Sask-E's future for generations to come.
