Publisher's Summary

Malila is dead by her own hand - at least, that is what she hopes General Jourdaine and the entire Unity will believe.

Middle-aged 17-year-old Malila Chiu has no choice but to escape her homeland. Making common cause with the strange subterranean workers of the beltways, Malila perseveres toward freedom in the scorched fields of America. Nearly naked, with no friends, no resources, and only a scant idea of the route, Malila's only real information comes from time in the outlands. While a captive of the old, harsh-and-tender-by-turns Jesse Johnstone, Malila learned of the lies told her by her homeland and the truths shown her by the arrogant and contradictory Jesse. She thinks she may love him. If only he were not so strange....

Pursuing Malila and becoming more obsessed with each failure, Jourdaine moves closer at each turn. Jesse, once again the target for assassination from old enemies, escapes to the skies, using a huge new American R-ship, the Illinois, in his own attempt to find Malila. Spies, subterranean poet-socialists, virtual entities, interfaces, and people - both good and bad - wrestle the Fates for survival and supremacy in a 22nd-century America.
