How do you follow the greatest crime of all time
It's been three years since the Atlas heist. Malia, aka the Obake, the greatest hacker of all time, was set for life. But being set for life turns out to be pretty boring.But when her new hobby of rigging underground fights lands her in trouble with one of the most dangerous gangs on Kepler Space Station, she's offered a deal: take down the corrupt politician interfering with the gang's business, or it's the end of the road for Malia.Hastily assembling her own crew, it should be easy after the impossible heist of Atlas Industries. But this time the person she's working for is just as bad as the person she's taking down, and there are darker things lurking in the shadows. Things tied to Malia's past. Things that could decide her future.Makana Yamamoto was born on the island of Maui. Splitting their time between the Mainland and Hawai'i, they grew up on beaches and in snowbanks.
