As the planet's resources dwindle, the orbital elites of the ruling Yun Ju play a dangerous game with Earth's population from space. A DESPERATE PLAN TO SAVE THE WORLD. Jason Nevsky, driven by his aunt Nathalie's legacy, fights to save a starving planet. But when he uncovers a sinister political plot, he realizes the Yun Ju will stop at nothing to maintain their power. His mission becomes a desperate gambit that could either save Earth or doom it forever. BETRAYAL. SACRIFICE. REBELLION. Meanwhile, Jason's estranged daughter Liz joins an elite training program that puts her close to the heart of the Yun Ju's power. But as she rises through the organisation’s ranks, Liz finds herself torn between loyalty to her new home and a growing realization of its dark secrets. Father and daughter find themselves on opposite sides of a conflict that will determine humanity's future. With time running out and billions of lives at stake, they must each make impossible choices that will shape the destiny of both Earth and the stars. If you loved The Expanse and the intricate political intrigue of Arkady Martine's novels, you won't be able to put down this second book in The Guardian Cycle series. What readers are saying about this book: A taut and tense tale of exceptional people in extraordinary circumstances, Inversions juxtaposes the realities of agriculture onto political intrigue with gripping results. This is a story of difficult choices and sacrifice set between chaotic poverty on Earth and elegant abundance of the planet's orbital stations. Another fantastic read from MV Melcer! T J Berry
