A thought-provoking examination of the possibility of artificial cleverness. Reverdy Jian, a freelance "dreamspace" pilot based on Persephone (an arid world so hot the populace lives underground), and her partners Imre Vaughn and "Red" take on a job traveling a custom-made ship for the secretive Meredalia Mitexi. They're to find Mitexi's lost sibling, Venya - an almost renowned developer of the near-sentient computer "constructs" that help real human pilots find their way dreamspace - who vanished immediately after his case to have created a genuine artificial cleverness was suppressed by his commercial employer, Kagami Ltd. Aboard Mitexi's ship, Reverdy works together with Manfred, Venya's custom build, and she increases ever more confident that Manfred might be sentient. When Reverdy learns that Mitexi programs to carefully turn Manfred over to Kagami on their return, she makes a decision she must protect the build, though she perils her career and perhaps her life.
