Body Suit

Exiled to the mines of Mars…
Silvariah Frandelle, a clever business woman, falls from wealth and success into exile and poverty, indentured-barely one step above slavery-as an off-world laborer to escape prison. Her last calculated risk as a free woman, paid for with years of service, becomes the key to surviving hostile environments.
Space, gravity, and Mars wastelands were expected. Intrusive AIs, obscure experiments and shadowy foes were not.
Escaping with her life will require more than intuition, wits or nerve, as the intrigue unravels from both ends, and she's forced to decide who to believe, and who to trust.
