Linda Greyson was broke, desperate, and one passive-aggressive voicemail from a bill collector away from total collapse. So when a tech startup called StellarGigs offered steady work, great benefits, and a signing bonus big enough to dent her student loans, she signed up without question.

She should have asked at least one question.

Now she's trapped on a space station run by the universe's largest gig economy conglomerate, where workers are disposable, five-star ratings are mythological, and the coffee is so strong, it breaks the temporal barrier. Her coworkers include a predatory lizard in a necktie, a three-eyed optimist who shimmers when nervous, and an unnervingly calm blue-skinned woman who often confuses the horrifying for the mundane.

As Linda fights to survive one absurd assignment after another, she discovers that StellarGigs isn't just exploiting its workers, it's doing something far worse. And the only way out might be to burn the whole system down from the inside.
