Eventually, with the help of some friendly aliens, she learns what she has to do. Much of the book's action involves her frustrating attempts to communicate by picking out syllables on a com-pad. Liddi comes from a world where voice-activated machines are the norm, so she does not know how to read or write. A young man named Tiav is willing to help, but communication is a problem. She escapes to an uncharted planet where she must convince the inhabitants that she does not mean them harm, while trying to rescue her brothers. But an evil company employee traps her eight older brothers-inventors working for JTI-in the conduits and implants a device in Liddi's throat that will kill them if she speaks. Gr 7 Up-Sixteen-year-old Liddi has grown up in the media spotlight as heir to Jantzen Technology Innovations, the corporation that invented most of the high-tech advancements in use on her planet and six others connected by transportation conduits.
