Falling Down the Aether Sky

Ruby returns home, penniless and desperate. She is plunged into a strange world of data thieves, cyberghosts and 'space addiction, the virtual world augmented by drugs and implants. There are rumors of monsters in ‘space, of people disappeared, a seductive destroyer that people at the end of their sanity go to meet in the badlands between the slabs that house the virtual environments. Other people and names begin to emerge with their own agenda: J’Qwan and Hylinski, Sweetman, Marika and Berke. They all make decisions that impact other lives and slowly shift their intersections both in Flesh and ‘Space. All these occurrences whirl closer, until one event collides and forever changes the world.Something is discovered that will be the bane or boon of humanity and it is a race to see who will get it first.
