Ava Macquarry has the most exciting job in the universe.

Ava and the crew of the Integrity, travel throughout space, mining planets and asteroids while fighting off raiders and rival crews. Only the smartest, strongest and toughest can make it as a Roughneck.

The risks are big, but the payoffs, and the post-haul parties are even bigger. Ava is on the cusp of earning a massive bonus and getting her own ship to captain when disaster strikes.

A Space Vikings raid leaves the Integrity damaged and Ava badly hurt - trapped in the wreckage, with flames all around her, Ava desperately calls for help.

Suddenly, she’s in a massive facility, hooked up to strange machines, surrounded by hundreds of sleeping bodies.

When Ava awakens she’s in a hospital bed at the nearest spaceport. Her story is dismissed, but Ava is sure of what she saw. Her quest to uncover the truth will change everything she thought she knew - about her life, about being a Roughneck, about the very nature of reality.
