Maauro and Wrik's adventures continue, but will they do so together? Maauro having acquired the wealth and special materials she needs to reconstruct her severed arm, awakens from her repair to find Wrik Trigardt gone. Compelled by his dark past, Wrik has set off on a journey to redeem himself to the people he left behind. Lost Planet is being torn apart as the split between Wrik and Jaelle Tekala has become irrevocable.

How could this day get worse? Enter Candace Deveraux of Confed Intelligence, with word that a sextet of stolen combat androids and a ruthless cyber-hacking genius have broken free of Confederate control and are bound for the same world as Wrik.

All the Difference opens a new chapter for Maauro in her ongoing voyage into emotional sentience. For Wrik, it is a confrontation with his past, that will determine who he will be from now on.

The fourth book in Edward McKeown's The Maauro Chronicles, and set in the same universe as the Robert Fenaday/Shasti Rainhell stories, All The Difference continues Maauro and Wrik's ongoing adventures as they discover secrets others dare not seek.
