About the book: 2021 / Imagine that you are a fixer. You sleep for decades, and then wake up to help the crew of the next spaceship cope with the next critical situation. You score points in an ancient game with corporate AIs. You fall asleep again. With any luck, one day the contract will be fulfilled, and you will wake up free and rich - in a world where there is a place for you. But right now you're in the middle of another storm. And all you have are treasures of stories left by the same fixers. Or someone foreign enough to try to understand you.
