The Orpheus Plot

A rebellion in space pits one boy’s past against his future in this gripping adventure from the critically acclaimed author of In the Red! Lucas Adebayo, who grew up on a small mining ship in the asteroid belt, aspires to join the Navy and become the best pilot in the galaxy. Despite the Navy's history of never accepting a Belter cadet, Lucas's skills earn him a spot on the training ship, the Orpheus. However, life in the Navy is vastly different from life in the Belt, leading Lucas to struggle to find his place. As a Belter, he is an outsider among his peers and as a Navy cadet, he feels out of place at home. When a Belter rebellion endangers everyone's lives, Lucas finds himself caught between the worlds of his past and his future, and only he can lead the way to peace.
