McBride's Eight L Blankenship

Maggie McBride lost three years laying low, nursing her anger. She was just a kid when Jupiter's police force cracked down on the McBrides' independence movement. Maggie escaped, but the void took most of her family. Her one surviving cousin got arrested and packed off for realignment "treatments" to fix those obviously faulty thinking patterns. Now Maggie's hacking together a team - the few who survived the rebellion, a couple sympathizers, a chuck who just needs the money - with the skills to break into the remote asteroid Correctional Facility where her cousin's being "treated." To get the cash for all this, Maggie signs a contract with a vicious old pirate, selling her future into slavery if she fails. It's millions of kilometers to the little rock, across open space with nowhere to hide. But she's going to get her cousin back.
