From the back of the book: "Tango Sierra Niner, you are clear all the way home." Home. Jayne Pawn smiled at the word, keeeping her eagle straight and steady toward the Norlight border. The johar grass a thousand meters below her was blooming, giving the Northern Plain a kaleidoscopic tinge. Rolling hills broke the flatness of the fields and Jayne could see how railways and interstates linked the various population centers. Her positioning radar indicated that she could begin her approach and she turned the high-performance fighter toward the landship carrier that was patrolling the border areas. The steel and polymer behemoth was her home for now, but the lands to the North called to her heart. She remembered her youth in Kossuth, her pilgrimages to Sorrento, and her family's move to Valeria. It was only in Norlight territory that Jayne felt she could relax, be free with her faith, and trust in her fellow man. She was a daughter of the Prophet, and his peace was with her always. Jayne remained oblivious to the gunfire far below. The Norther Lights Confederacy brings Heavy Gear fans into the heart of the North.
