An unconscious girl found on a clump of floating kelp radically complicates Bernardo’s life. By all accounts, Ondas is supposed to be uninhabited. Why is the League government hiding the existence of the seafarers? In his quest for answers, the young biologist becomes entangled in a broader conflict that is about to take a recently colonized world to war. Bernardo is swept into a secret world of rebellion and espionage, and uncovers a genocidal policy by his government directed against the child’s aboriginal culture. On this water world fraught with ubiquitous storms, Bernardo, a few of his colleagues, two enslaved technicians, and an enigmatic mystic fight for the girl’s survival and that of her people, discovering a long-forgotten truth that will shake the foundations of worlds.
Alone in the ashen plains, a girl searches for the enigmatic nomads of Od-Siing, but the atmosphere proves too harsh for the young seafarer. Krynna is unconscious and dying when found by the twins, Durai and Quan. Durai falls in love with the girl from a distant ocean world but believes she is a star spirit and shies away. While recovering, the young emissary is shown writings that could help free the nomads from a brutal occupation. A surprise raid separates Durai from Krynna and his sister who then flee to distant asteroid station, where a young prospector has seen the same ancient script. A holy man named Aicobo, a pilgrim from the ocean world, takes the heartbroken Durai to find his two loves. They join Krynna in her pursuit of a truth so powerful it could not only transform the struggle against the totalitarian League, but alter the very meaning of existence for the disparate people of the three suns.
The Adventures of Doria Quinn begin on that memorable day when Doria went on her first date and got her first cybernetic implant.
Not even the constant ocean breeze could sweep clean the toppled stone cylinder where Te-Tau stood. With the back of his knuckles, the old fisherman wiped the red soil that clung to his gray-speckled dreadlocks. To the east, facing the rest of the island, he looked upon a sky laden with haze. Only the top of a great statue could be seen in the early morning light—a great bulging nose and disinterested, coral-white eyes floating atop a smoldering miasma of spoiled earth.
I watched the rabbit on the moon through my bedroom window, and I wondered how people of the tropics imagine the world differently. It was my last thought as I fell asleep...

"The mosquito net hung from a point on the ceiling and broadened to the corners of the bed frame, like a mountain steepened by ice and time. On the rickety platform bed, a young girl lay sleeping, and a kissing bug struggled to escape a crack that ran up a nearby masonry wall. Once free, the inch-long beetle spread its opaque wings and took flight, landing on the mesh that surrounded Miriam’s small form..."
