When the unknown "X" lost her job and any way to make a living, she only wanted her life back. But she settled for revenge. In a way she wouldn't expect - cleaning up the elitist government messes. Because having dead bodies around did no one any good. And someone was on a purge in those self-named "royal" houses that ran the moon colony cities. Her particular mindset and training as a medical clinician allowed her to view death with a singular frame of mind. While all the people she'd helped in that medical clinic gave her loyal, fast friends among the "down-belows" who did the mining and kept everything running. The opportunity to now work for an ambitious executive who had a nasty habit of eliminating her bosses was just too good to pass up - and maybe find out who had wrecked her life. Get Your Copy Now.
