Tomorrow Log

Across the galaxy, far from the Liaden Universe, lives Gem ser'Edreth, an electronics wizard who also works as a freelance thief. He keeps to himself, with no family or friends to tie him down, and has put all his energy into his craft until he is so skilled that the crime boss of his world comes to him with a job. Turning that job down is his first serious misstep.

When Gem tries to leave the planet, his concealed history becomes a dangerous weakness and the escape plan falls apart. He is soon caught up in interplanetary politics and the threat of an interstellar war, carrying an ancient object of power and an unwelcome cousin. His best hope may lie with the enigmatic Witness for the Telios, who could either rescue him or ruin him.
