Destry's life is dedicated to terraforming Sask-E. As part of the Environmental Rescue Team, she cares for the planet and its burgeoning eco-systems as her parents and their parents did before her. But the bright, clean future they're building comes under threat when Destry discovers a city full of people that shouldn’t exist, hidden inside a massive volcano. As she uncovers more about their past, Destry begins to question the mission she's devoted her life to, and must make a choice that will reverberate through Sask-E's future for generations to come.

Uneven and sort of preachy
Revisado: 04-23-24
The story seeks to have a grand sweep, covering three different eras separated by hundreds or thousands of years with three different sets of characters. I found the three parts of the story uneven. I enjoyed the third the most, which is why I finished the book.
The story and setting portray a world of galaxy-spanning corporations vying with eco-communes governed by direct democracy, and it presents the reader with a pretty good idea which one of those is better. But the story fails to grapple with its own morality. Massive crimes - like slavery, deliberate mental handicapping by genetic engineering, and two characters threatening to cause a disaster that could slaughter millions - pass by in a few pages each. I found that aspect jarring and the rest unnecessarily preachy.

To escape from a life of petticoats and politeness, Hilary answers a curious advertisement for a pirate crew and suddenly finds herself swept up in a seafaring adventure that may or may not involve a map without an X, a magical treasure that likely doesn't exist, a rogue governess who insists on propriety, a crew of misfit scallywags, and the most treacherous - and unexpected - villain on the High Seas. Will Hilary find the treasure in time? Will she become a true pirate after all? And what will become of the gargoyle?

Very good. Can't wait for the next one.
Greatly told and silly,
Hillary Westfield has to be the greatest character of all time
