Scarlett's Reading Team*Selene Jordan is alone in the universe. Whisked away from Earth by unscrupulous aliens bent on selling her to the highest bidder, she’s shuffled from one freighter to another on her way to a distant mining colony. Each ship is much like the last, with only the faces of her captors changing. Just when she thinks she’ll go mad from staring at the four walls, something incredible happens.

She kept on the move, staying in the shadows, scavenging to survive.
