Bonham, Carol Hightshoe, Francis W. Alexander, and Terrie Leigh Relf.This book is dedicated to all of the science fiction fans and writers that must battle their own personal demons every day, and half of all of the profits from this book will go to The Yellow Ribbon Suicide Prevention Organization, a group that battles teen suicide.

Yoelin's periphery is under attack, and she has to close down her chosen purpose in life-performing Rescues, of children, people, and things. Her investigation takes her into the sordid world of betrayal. Too many people want her dead-including her former boss in Corporatia Security; a crime boss who wants to force her favors in exchange for an old debt; and the head of one of the most powerful corporations in Corporatia. Her only allies are a former lover with his own agenda; a concourse deli operator; and a woman who has sworn to kill her, whatever the cost. As Yoelin strives to rescue herself, she stumbles upon a dark family secret: she may not be who she thought she was. But can she ever discover who she really is?

"The only records that delineate and authenticate Corporatia territories are on that Palmetto. We want it back.""What happened?" Yoelin asked."A records clerk bypassed security, recorded the information and then deleted it from our computers, and departed for Havelox Rest, outside our jurisdiction, where we believe she is now."After the words "Havelox Rest," Yoelin heard only the pounding of her heart. A wave of dizziness passed. Why there? Why did it have to be there?So who's Yoelin Thibbony? That's what she calls herself now. She endured a cruel and abusive childhood, when there was no one to rescue her. Now she performs Rescues of people or things-sometimes for hire, sometimes for free. She's been hired to retrieve stolen archives. But to perform this Rescue, Yoelin has to return to Havelox Rest, the world of her childhood-a world that still holds dark and bleak terrors for her.

A quantum is a self-contained unit-of energy, light, and so forth. It exists in and of itself, irrespective of its surroundings. But it can be, and usually is, part of a team.A quantum woman, then, is a self-contained person, independent, yet willing to be part of a team if the right teammate comes along.Quantum women aren't superheroines with superpowers, they're not "chicks in chain mail," although they might be, as Pamela Sargent wrote, "Women of Wonder." For the most part, quantum women are everyday folks in a science fiction or fantasy setting. They might be home-makers or home-wreckers, homely or homey, but all of them are focused, determined, willful, and independent. To those who have men in their lives, they are partners and companions, equals and not subordinates.And yet, like any of us, they can find themselves in extraordinary situations where a bit of heroism can save the day. You'll encounter them on these pages.
