In the year 2127, Tegan and Abdi find themselves controlled by an Australian government bent on completing a starship. This starship houses Australia’s refugees, cryogenically frozen, who are to be sent to a distant space colony, thus ridding Australia of its immigrant problem. Tortured and mentally abused by their captors, the two manage to escape and reconnect with associates from the first book, When We Wake. Now on the run, they will do whatever they can to bring down the government and reveal its secret program, saving thousands of lives - and maybe their own.
