Overview
Dana Cannonade is an astrophysicist in Scenebux and Easton Cannonade’s cousin. She works on commercial satellites and repeatedly monitors Easton because she fears he may die by drugs or suicide.
Dana appears to Ben as about thirty-five, unglamorous, blue-eyed, long-legged, and athletic, with swimmer’s thighs on Little Saint Demeter and a deeper tan and visible abdominal muscles in Laos.
Role
Dana is staying at Max Pacifica’s house on Little Saint Demeter when Ben Etxina arrives. She tells Ben that she may have to fly Easton’s body back to Princeton if he kills himself. After Ben reports Max’s fatal fall, Dana calmly calls the Coast Guard.
Dana later travels to Hung Lo to watch Easton during a period of severe instability. She joins Ben and Easton at Lom Lalen and remains at the house after the attack on Mac Amoolish. She accepts Easton’s vow that he will stay alive if he can remain permanently in Laos.
