For thirteen-year-old Charles Dingillian - a.k.a. Chigger - and his two brothers, divorcing their parents was the only solution. It is bad enough that the Earth is in ruin. Economies are in turmoil. Borders have broken down, and rival supranational corporations are battling for supremacy." "But for Chigger, an Earth imploding into social and economic chaos is nothing compared to the epic battles waged by his parents. On a vacation up the legendary Beanstalk - an orbital elevator thousands of miles in length - they arrive at Geosynchronous Station, where Chigger decides he"s had enough and initiates legal proceedings against his parents...and wins. His two brothers are free to go anywhere they choose. It"s a chance at a new life." "But where?" "A return to Earth is out of the question. Their only option is a colony off system. But their pioneering adventure takes a terrifying U-turn when the boys become the target of an intense interplanetary manhunt. Competing corporations are after something.
