Kip has a secret. A young boy who lives with his uncle at Starswarm Station research outpost on planet Paradise, he has heard a voice in his head for as long as he can remember. The voice guides him in all his decisions, helping him through situations with useful information and helpful insight. Kip suspects the voice in his head is some sort of computer. And, finally daring to ask the voice some tough questions, Kip discovers that his computer scientist parents implanted an artificial intelligence chip in his skull, which connects with a powerful central computer through satellites. He also learns that his parents were persecuted and killed, and that his own well being, and that of outpost Starswarm, is in grave danger. "Far and away the most believable and interesting near-space milieu I've seen in years", -- Orson Scott Card on Higher Education
