Description

In a future where interstellar couriers are vital for communication, Captain Tova Lir navigates the vastness of space, preferring the solitude of her ship to the complexities of her family's political legacy. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she begins fostering and training juvenile AI, affectionately known as baby bots, preparing them for the intricacies of human society. When a routine delivery is shattered by the discovery of a derelict vessel and a deadly assassin, Tova and her newest charge, the self-named Agatha Panza von Sparkles, are thrust into a desperate chase across the solar system. This thrilling adventure explores themes of found family, the evolving nature of artificial intelligence, and the enduring struggle against ingrained bias, offering a poignant and visionary glimpse into humanity's future.
