Ninth Step Station at Serial Box, coming in January 2019!
Creator and Lead Writer: Malka Older
Writers: Fran Wilde, Curtis Chen, Jacqueline Koyanagi
Years of disaster and conflict have left Tokyo split between great powers. In the city of drone-enforced borders, bodymod black markets, and desperate resistance movements, US peacekeeper Emma Higashi is assigned to partner with Tokyo Metropolitan Police Detective Miyako Koreda. Together, they must race to solve a series of murders that test their relationship and threaten to overturn the balance of global power. And amid the chaos, they each need to decide what they are willing to do for peace.
