Paid In Full

By Iain Henderson

BOOK THREE - Paid in Full

They freed a species with a contract loophole and an admissible dog.

Nine years on, Eli Cortez is eighty, his heart is finally failing, and there are still five hundred people buried in the dark who can't be reached in time. Then word comes from the far arm of the galaxy: a mining people who could carry the cure to every last one of them - if anyone could free them first. They're held as collateral under a government's own contracts, behind a market no one can audit and a law no one can beat.

To reach them, Eli will have to do the one thing he's never managed. He'll have to call his daughters home.

A lawyer who left. An auditor who followed. And the one who stayed, keeping the lights on at a lake house at the end of everything. Against a cage built entirely out of paper, they have a contract loophole, an admissible dog, and five weeks of engine between a cure and a heart.

The radiant, unforgettable finale of The Bloom Cycle - about the debts we can't pay, the ones we pay anyway, and what a family decides a gift is worth.
