AUSTIN KIRK is the protagonist of a new science fiction novel by S. E. Payne. As young heroes go, Austin has everything stacked against him. His parents signed up for a hardship tour in space to pay for family medical expenses and left him in charge despite his lack of formal education and physical disabilities. Tough, smart, and no stranger to the street, Austin has a dream and will make it happen if it takes all the iron on Mars. Starting out small is no disadvantage to Austin; he is used to it. So what if he moves with a limp; that started when he was still crawling. And if the doctor wants a small fortune more than the sacrifice of his parents made for little Madeleine, Austin was born with an extra eye to sell. Who needs two? The only real problem, the only force stubborn enough to stop him is a S.K.I.P.P. android left by his parents to keep him out of trouble.
