A woman who has been cyborged to work with the biocyphs that are used to terraform new planets is kidnapped by a rogue terraforming outfit. They also provide her with a bodyguard--a man who will die if he becomes separated from her. And their mission--the world where she deliberately stopped the terraforming. But as all hell breaks loose in the mission, the planet below has turned into something strange as well. This was really good, and had a romantic subplot. I plan on reading the next one as soon as it is out (in March).
