The Hockey Scribbler

When Simara Ying crash-lands on the desert planet Bali, she finds herself trapped in a primitive cave-dwelling culture with no social network for support. Her native rescuer, Zen Valda, is yanked into a new universe of complications he can scarcely grasp and into an infinite network of data he never knew existed. When brash V-net anchorman Roni Hendrik starts investigating how Simara became the subject of an interplanetary manhunt, he finds a dangerous emergence in the network that threatens all human life.
