Why have a midlife crisis on Earth when you can have one among the stars?

After her third post-release layoff from a major gaming studio, Coriolis Washington is ready to try something new. Like, going-to-another-world new. And whatever her friend's lurid romance novels might say, Cori knows perfectly well that the alien world Fali-tan needs programmers to write code – not sexy women to fill out harems.

Despite being far more technologically advanced than Earth in most respects, Fali-tan's computers were no better than punch-card-driven mainframes, and had not improved in generations until the discovery of their long-lost cousins on Earth. Now, Fali-tan's population is eager to achieve their own Information Age, and technology companies bend over backwards to hire skilled Earth developers. Even some of Fali-tan's peacelords, leaders of their nations, will go to great lengths to attract people like Coriolis to their country.

… and the shocking, overwhelming physical attractiveness of humans is the least of Coriolis's charms to rival peacelords and ex-lovers Dhavoran and Tyvalon.
