NOTES

We, the colonists of the second planet orbiting Gliese 667C, are stuck here… but some of us prefer it that way.Our colony was cut off from Earth three years ago and is on the brink of civil war. As an AI controlling an Advanced Environment Suit, I rely on my wearer to move, to speak, and to protect me. But I'm far from helpless.I'm determined to be the one who stops the enemy from reestablishing contact with Earth. But when I'm captured by an enemy soldier, we are lost in the wilderness, and my survival suddenly depends on his.The soldier could wipe my memory at any time, so why hasn't he? As we face the planet's dangers together, I start to realize that everything I've believed is a lie…A science-fiction adventure novel for fans of Murderbot and Becky Chambers. After high school, Rebecca would have applied to Starfleet Academy if it existed. Since it doesn't, there was an ill-fated attempt to become a ballerina. This was followed by an Engineering degree at the Australian National University, majoring in Mechatronics, then a highly enjoyable career developing software. On the remote colony planet orbiting Gliese 667C, cut off from the rest of humanity, a soldier switches off the memory wipe on his Advanced Environment Suit. The consequences of his decision will ripple throughout the planet.The HUGG Universe series follows the gripping, thought-provoking journey of Envy, an AGI embedded in an Advanced Environment Suit, whose purpose is to protect and serve her wearer. Until one day, she's on her own.Prepare to snort laugh and ugly cry as Envy navigates alien terrain, complex moral dilemmas, and human relationships
