Mars. The red planet. A new frontier for humanity: a civilisation where humans can live in peace, lord and master of all they survey. But this isn't Space City from those old science-fiction books. It's more like Hell City, built into and from a huge crater. There's a big silk canopy over it, feeding out atmosphere as we generate it, little by little, because we can't breathe the air here. I guess it's a perfect place to live, if you want to live on Mars. At some point I must have wanted to live on Mars, because here I am.

Maauro has played many roles in the fifty millennia of her existence, android war machine, friend and lover. Now she lies buried in grief from a role she never wanted – having outlived her friends and husband. But a seachange is coming in the most unlikely form, a fleeing teenage Thieves Guild trainee, Dassa Falkayan, granddaughter of Dusko. Maauro reawakens to engage in new adventures but bearing the legacy of all that has come before.

Maauro and Wrik’s adventures continue, but will they do so together? Maauro having acquired the wealth and special materials she needs to reconstruct her severed arm, awakens from her repair to find Wrik Trigardt gone. Compelled by his dark past, Wrik has set off on a journey to redeem himself to the people he left behind. Lost Planet is being torn apart as the split between Wrik and Jaelle Tekala has become irrevocable.

Wrik Trigardt ekes out a living in the Kandalor system with his small ship, Sinner. He is caught between his failed past and a grim present in service to the local crimelord, Dusko. An expedition to the Rift Asteroids promises better days, but when the well of time is disturbed no one can say what will surface.

Wrik Trigardt, disgraced military pilot, and his companion, the ancient android Maauro, have survived their initial battles with the Guild, Confed government and the ancient Infestor Artifact. With the aid of the beautiful and canny Jaelle and the reluctant service of the former crimelord Dusko, they have established Lost Planet expeditions to go where others dare not.
