Cora (The Cage; The Hunt) and friends have escaped the Kindred station and have landed at a rumored human haven on a moon called Armstrong; there they plan to prepare for the Gauntlet, a competition to free humanity from the aliens for good. Instead, Armstrong is merely another prison Cora must escape. Shepherd's gorgeous writing style makes it easier to accept some of the absurdities of this sci-fi universe.
