   Summary

   It’s been a year since Collie Faust bolted from Central Knot City and started working as a Porter for Lucky Knight Logistics, unraveling the prior 3 years of hard study to become a Bridges negotiator out west on Bridges I (though not her math minor, and certainly not her years of busking, thank the universe). Honest work? Sure. Uninteresting? More often than she’d like to admit.

   But a chance run of bad luck puts her in close quarters with Higgs Monaghan, insurrectionist, fledgling cult leader, local menace, and a major subject of all her training.

   You can probably guess where this is going, but man, even still, I sure do like the part where Icarus hijacks the little red hen.
