The Cassidyverse is vast. It spans centuries, stars, and stories whispered in orbit, shouted from rooftops, or muttered into a whiskey glass at the end of the world. In The Shape of the Fire, Adam Gaffen returns to the sprawling, genre-bending universe that began with Into the Black and The Heart of Space — and he’s brought some of your favorite chaos agents with him.

Welcome to the world of 2113. The country has shattered into 10 squabbling nations, and the solar system is on the edge of colonization. Technologic wonders abound. Yet, it's not unlike our own. People meet, fall in love, face assassination at their wedding - well, perhaps not. Meet Aiyana and Kendra, Cass and Ken to their friends, a genius physicist and a retired movie star with a mysterious past. They live quietly, get along with their neighbors, don't have problems at work. So why did they have to run for their lives from their wedding?

To be a Docile is to be kept, body and soul, for the uses of the owner of your contract. To be a Docile is to forget, to disappear, to hide inside your body from the horrors of your service. To be a Docile is to sell yourself to pay your parents' debts and buy your children's future. Elisha Wilder’s family has been ruined by debt, handed down to them from previous generations. His mother never recovered from the Dociline she took during her term as a Docile, so when Elisha decides to try and erase the family’s debt himself, he swears he will never take the drug.

The Primus, Vasilia Newling, is facing her worst nightmares. A revolution on Luna. Titan and the Asteroids abandoning the Solarian Union. Defections from within her own government. All because of those damned Cassidys! But she's still as ruthless as ever.

Cass and Ken fled their wedding when an assassin tried to kill them. They ran from Los Alamos to Las Vegas to Massachusetts and finally to the flooded remains of New Orleans. Now Kendra will try to recruit her employer to help them get to the bottom of this mystery, but everything has a cost. She may have no choice but to pay it, however. Cass has problems of her own when she discovers that a friend is in jeopardy because of her. Can she organize a rescue attempt?

Five years after the events in Volume One, life is good for the Cassidys. Aiyana is perfecting her teleporters while running the Heavy Lift Corporation. Kendra is overseeing her ambitious starship project in her own, inimitable way. They want nothing more than to live their lives and raise their girls.

How do you end a war you want no part of? Cass and Ken just want to get back to their plans for exploration. That doesn't seem to be in the cards, though, so now it's time to think outside the box. If the leaders of Artemis won't listen, maybe it's time for new leaders. New tools, new crews, new challenges, but the same Cass and Ken: they're not going to let anything stop them!
