The third volume in the H2LiftShip Series starts off at the beginning of modern history, joining pieces of Jupiter’s living clouds with Earth’s octopuses and our DNA-infused computers. The octopuses signed on as navigators on Solar Sail ships, using their three brains, eight arms and love of math to explore the solar system with their mammal partners.
HiveMother, builder of bioGels at the Heliopause, tried to re-write the Heliotail HiveSisters’ software in her image, precipitating the HiveWars.
We follow Captain Graciela, her crew and Captain Herb of the Heliospheric Navy as they escape the TailGel-enhanced algal rocket ships and join the fight at the Core: Earth and Luna.
