A rebellion in space pits one boy's past against his future in this gripping adventure from the critically acclaimed author of In the Red! This out-of-this-world story about fighting for what's right, chasing your dreams, and believing in yourself is perfect for fans of Kevin Emerson, Yoon Ha Lee, and D. J. MacHale.
Lucas Adebayo grew up on a small mining ship in the asteroid belt, but wants to join the Navy and become the best pilot in the galaxy. The Navy has never accepted a Belter cadet before, but Lucas's skills secure him a place on the training ship, the Orpheus.
Life in the Navy couldn't be more different than life in the Belt, and Lucas struggles to find his place. As a Belter, he's an outsider among his peers; as a Navy cadet, he doesn't quite fit in at home anymore, either. Lucas is caught between the worlds of his past and his future when a Belter rebellion puts everyone's lives at risk. Only he can lead the way to peace.

But when the rebellion puts his new friends in danger, can this outsider become the leader they all need?

- Sibling Conflict: Lucas's adopted sister, Tali, is already a top cadet. But she carries secrets that could tear them--and the entire Navy--apart.
- Found Family: As an outsider, Lucas struggles to make friends. But when a rebellion breaks out, he'll have to rely on his unlikely new bunkmates, Elena and Rahul, to survive.
- Outsider Hero: Caught between the Belter miners he grew up with and the Navy he swore to serve, only Lucas can stop an interstellar war before it starts.
