Publisher's Summary
Corn is king in the Heartland, and Cael McAvoy has had enough of it.
It's the only crop the Empyrean government allows the people of the
Heartland to grow - and the genetically modified strain is so aggressive
that it takes everything the Heartlanders have just to control it.
As captain of the Big Sky Scavengers, Cael and his crew sail their rickety
ship over the corn day after day, scavenging for valuables, trying to
earn much-needed ace notes for their families. But Cael's tired of surviving
life on the ground while the Empyrean elite drift by above in their
extravagant sky flotillas. He's sick of the mayor's son besting Cael's
crew in the scavenging game. And he's worried about losing Gwennie -
his first mate and the love of his life - forever when their government-chosen
spouses are revealed. But most of all, Cael is angry - angry that their
lot in life will never get better and that his father doesn't seem upset
about any of it.
Cael's ready to make his own luck... even if it means bringing down
the wrath of the Empyrean elite and changing life in the Heartland forever.-
Lyrics from "Harvest-Home Song" by John Davidson. Stedman, Edmund Clarence,
