Produktbeschreibung
Rose Gold can't catch a break. Her latest "golden opportunity" has given way to a madcap adventure through the soft underbelly of Bonneville City. She finds herself cast in the role of renegade mentor and hero to a trio of idealistic young rebels. Together, they perpetrate an act of subversion targeting "future-mover" and celebrity CEO Moses Honeydew, which puts them in the crosshairs of his Substrate Inc. Along the way, they join forces with family-doctor-by-day and fixer-by-night, Dr. Hansjorg Winteregg, and go on the lam. Meanwhile, there are rumours about Honeydew's private space station, The Visionary, which may or may not have forced its first passengers into working off their debt. Rose's boss and his crew go missing. Honeydew announces his plan to take a manned submersible drill to Earth's mantle to burnish his brand as a fearless and impossibly cool maverick. With her faithful charges by her side, Rose finds herself at the centre of an unfolding conspiracy. Did she ever truly have a hand on the rudder of fate? And what chance does a quartet of second-rate saboteurs have against a multinational corporation with a vendetta and a trillion-dollar market capitalization?
