Abomination of Lost Memories

As Nadacloak Long Reach, the twelve-seasons-old daughter of Highland Ferreter, roams Winter Haven's carbon-nanotube caverns, she struggles to overcome a fading memory. Her friend, Kanok Sure Strike, possesses the Skill of Remembrance, but the ghost of a leech-enhanced abomination has claimed him as a spiritual gateway back into Tarsus reality. Without a reading from Kanok, Nadacloak’s memory will disintegrate. Without help from Nadacloak, Kanok may become living slug-fodder.

When the beleaguered youths embark on a trial-by-fire through mutant dominated territories, two outsiders collide in their path. Randy Martin Dobson’s mission to capture super-genius JP Anderson goes off track and both spacers end up on the planet Tarsus. Anderson sets out for justice through any availablle legal stratigies. Dobson aims to kill his former mates.

The question is, can two troubled teens, a skilled assassin, and a woman infected with a deadly mental virus come together long enough to save a dying world?
