The discovery of game-changing quantum technology sparks an AI war between Earth’s powerful dynasties and the solar system colonies.
A long-lost ship transporting an experimental quantum communications device has just been found in an uncharted region of the asteroid belt. For Commander Scott McNabb, Flight Officer Miranda Lee, and the ragtag survey crew who accidentally stumble upon this lost tech… life is about to become a whole lot more complicated.
They now find themselves being hunted down by powerful factions from Earth who will stop at nothing to get their hands on this extraordinary technology. Their only hope is to push their ancient ship to its limits, try and stay one step ahead, and get to the safety of the quantum intelligence on the icy moon of Europa.
But to do that, they must first stop bickering, pull together, and buckle up. Because if they don’t, then it’s not just their lives at stake—but the lives of millions of people throughout the colonized worlds.

‘Liberty Terrace is the world in merciless microcosm. Madeleine D’Arcy’s writing will make you laugh out loud and smart with painful recognition.’ Mary Morrissy.
‘The stories in Liberty Terrace are intimate, humane and wickedly funny. Moving and perceptive, these stories are by turns upsetting and luminous. A triumph!’ Danielle McLaughlin.

Is Rejuvenation really humanity’s savior, or is it the hidden doorway to slavery and persecution?
Bobbie Chan has escaped the clutches of the all-encompassing Belus Corporation. She and her comrades are forced to seek sanctuary amongst a band of renegades – outcasts who eke out a meagre existence in the barren wastelands which emerged from the Melter War.
However, Bobbie finds herself at the heart of a game plan, devised by the renegades, to bring the Belus Corporation to its knees.
This second installment of the Rejuvenation Trilogy sees old friends becoming enemies and one-time enemies becoming friends as the true, diabolical nature of Rejuvenation becomes clear.
