As a Psychic Investigator, Jack Stein’s specialty is drawing clues from dreams and psychic impressions. It’s not a line of work that draws a lot of respect in The Locality, where the rich live high and dry, and the poor rot at the roots.
His latest client is Outreach Industries, a mega-conglom that’s reached out and grabbed every resource on every chunk of rock in the galaxy—including the rim planet Dairil III, where a mining crew has mysteriously disappeared. Jack’s been hired to sniff them out. In his dreams.
One problem: Jack’s visions are cluttered with strange mystical symbols and red herrings. It’s enough to make him wonder if Outreach really wants the miners to be found.
When Jack gets his hands on a seemingly minor piece of evidence, suddenly half the Locality is after him. And nobody’s willing to tell him why. This could be part of something that’s too big for even Jack to wrap his mind around.
