Current Drift. Parse Galaxy, #7

For once, Sloane Tarnish is actually winning.  The resistance movement against the Cosmic Trade Federation? Winning. The plan to keep her badly behaving uncle restrained and out of the way? Also winning. Her love life? Totally winning, thank you very much.  But nothing ever stays simple for long. When Sloane and her crew interrupt the CTF's plans to mess with the Currents that make fast travel possible throughout the galaxy, they inadvertently damage the technology.
The alien technology, which they know precious little about.  Sloane doesn't relish the idea of getting trapped in a galaxy without Current-quick travel. Worse, though, is the devastating effect the Current seems to be having on Gareth Fortune-whose psychic connection with the tech is putting him in danger.  When disaster strikes within the Current, though, they face a devastating new choice: fix the technology to save the galaxy-or strengthen Gareth's psychic connection, risking his life in the process.  Forget winning; at this point, Sloane will settle for survival.
