Her working conditions include bomb threats, sabotage, clashes with her employers. Although Hutch fears her career may be over before it has begun, her ambition won't be denied and soon she is on the bridge of an interstellar ship, working for the corporation that is responsible for the terraforming. So interstellar pilots are not exactly in demand. To make matters worse, efforts to prepare two planets for colonization are killing off native life forms, outraging people on Earth. Faster-than-light travel has only recently become a reality and the World Space Authority is still learning how to manage long-range missions safely. Hutch has finally realised her dream: she's completed a nerve-bending qualification flight for a pilot's licence. Not to be missed by readers of Ray Bradbury and Joe Haldeman. From Nebula-Award winning Jack McDevitt comes the thrilling, edge-of-your-seat tale of interstellar pilot Priscilla 'Hutch' Hutchins's very first mission.
