Three Lives Of Mary

Description

Mary is part of an elite CySapient team. Together with her husband Ben—a total-conversion sentient spaceship—she surveys planets looking for potentially colonizable worlds.

While investigating a possibly habitable planet, Mary encounters a strange plant-animal hybrid that threatens to destroy her, despite her near invulnerable Cynetic body. Ben rescues her, but is severely damaged—including his highly expensive Dataract brain augmentation.

After limping back to the nearest repair base, Mary discovers that bad investments in immature colony worlds, along with Ben’s taste for lavish hardware upgrades, have wiped out most of their funds. Unable to afford the life-saving repairs Ben needs, Mary must now risk everything to save him, and make decisions that will change both their lives forever.
