Navy lieutenant Podkayne, daughter of Ray Garcia-Strickland, is tired of her job as Martian consul in California-and Earth's oppressive gravity. So she's OK with getting called back to Mars, even if it's because her great-grandmother is sick and being put into suspended animation.After a family reunion, Podkayne's next port of call is Europa, one of Jupiter's moons, where she can finally realize her dream of being a singer. But just when her life seems to be improving for the better, disaster strikes and Podkayne is put into her own state of suspension.Awakened ten years later, she will discover a solar system in turmoil-where the very survival of humanity is at risk.
