Fired by a Fool, Claimed by a CEO

Cindy Wilson saves Birkins Space Center from a rocket explosion and is promoted to head supervisor on the spot. That triumph evaporates when Kevin Birkin, the founder's son, takes over. He fires her, blackballs her from the industry, and hands her job to Sierra Crawford—the woman who has stolen Cindy's identity as the anonymous prodigy "CC." While Sierra takes credit for work she never did, Cindy uncovers a critical fuel leak in Aurora 3. She rushes to Kevin's office to warn him. Sierra calls her a liar and strikes her unconscious on the spot.

Billionaire Glen Ryder has spent ten years searching for the genius known as CC, even putting out word of a $50 million salary for anyone who can find her. The trail finally leads him to Birkins Space Center, where he discovers Cindy dazed on the floor of Kevin's office. The moment she regains consciousness, she warns him the rocket is about to explode. They race to the command center, but Kevin orders security to restrain her and lets the launch proceed. The explosion that follows is catastrophic.

With Glen's full resources behind her, Cindy sets out to expose the conspiracy, reclaim her stolen identity, and claw her way back to the top of the space tech world—on her own terms.
