To forget her failed music aspirations on Earth, Remy McCoy accepted a free ticket on an intergalactic speed-dating cruise. She was going nowhere before, but with the Love Boat I adrift, sheโs really going nowhere. Sheโd finally accepted that her love life is fated to be sour notes and awkward fade-outs, but now, stranded in the dangerous Zarnax Zone by a mysterious energy phenomenon, sheโs stuck with a shipful of wanna-be alien matesโand a charming, cybernetically enhanced bartender whose silver half-moon eyes see her for who she once dreamed sheโd be.
Since his polluted planet was declared a closed world, Eoyen Ikaryo has spent most of his life drifting between the stars, serving on one ship after another with no place to call home. A bar of synthequer beverages between him and the Big Sky Intergalactic Dating Agency passengers shielded him from any romantic inclinationsโuntil a red-haired, narrow-eyed Earther makes his augments spark and sing, shattering his plasteel walls of isolation.
But as strange cascading disasters plague the ship, Remy and Ikaryo realize their ghost in the machine is something more existential than they ever couldโve believedโvital to the mission of the Big Sky IDAโฆand maybe their lonely, guarded hearts.
