A new technology that is not well understood is transforming the world industry by industry. Now it is poised to bring humankind to the stars. Amelia Gravis, a precocious mid-teen, never able to accept "It just works!" for an answer, rejects the glossed over theory of the experts. Driven to understand the technology, she begins to uncover the truth. The deeper she digs, the more she realizes that most people seem to prefer ignorance. Amelia finds that ideas, when connected to a deeper truth, can get you in trouble, especially when they challenge the status quo. This is the first book in Star Net, a series that tracks the emergence of humankind from a Sol bound species to a people spread across the stars.
