Why have a midlife crisis on Earth when you can have one among the stars?
After her third post-release layoff from a major gaming studio, Coriolis Washington is ready to try something new. Like, going-to-another-world new. And whatever her friend's lurid romance novels might say, Cori knows perfectly well that the alien world Fali-tan needs programmers to write code - not sexy women to fill out harems.
Despite being far more technologically advanced than Earth in most respects, Fali-tan's computers were no better than punch-card-driven mainframes, and had not improved in generations until the discovery of their long-lost cousins on Earth. Now, Fali-tan's population is eager to achieve their own Information Age, and technology companies bend over backwards to hire skilled Earth developers.
Even some of Fali-tan's peacelords, leaders of their nations, will go to great lengths to attract people like Coriolis to their country.
... and the shocking, overwhelming physical attractiveness of humans is the least of Coriolis's charms to rival peacelords and ex-lovers Dhavoran and Tyvalon.
