Legendary swordswoman Isako has been the longtime right hand of a captain of industry on the harsh planet of Aquilo. But after her client's unexpected retirement, she's ready to follow him: by walking out of the safety of their habitation and into the frozen wasteland to die of asphyxiation (what, did you think "retirement" meant something cushier?). Instead, she learns that her contract has been given to her client's rival, and before she is able to retire herself, Isako must track down her final apprentice and his client to find out what skulduggery they're up to. This was a really fun samurai-in-space book, full of intrigue, double-crossing, and meditations on work, life, and what we are owed in life. An excellent book!
