Plot summary[edit]
Farmer's wife Eli Alexander from rural Montana, North America, Terra, is actually on TerraSec's most-wanted list ever since Edelle Kearny had been shot out of her Avatar ten years ago. She escaped captivity after weeks of questioning and started a family.
Falling stars—debris from the space battle—prompt her to activate her resistance cell. When they determine from intercepted radio traffic that the ComStar attackers have established something of a bridgehead at Riga, Eli returns to her BattleMech which was hidden in a lake and activates it to join the fight against the Word of Blake.
