About this ebook
It's no easy tour of duty for Lt. Nova Whiteside when her interstellar transport is taken by pirates and she is then tagged for termination. Could it have something to do with the mysterious alien they were transporting? Having gone from merely MIA to technically AWOL, any chance of escape leaves her no choice but to rely on Sethran Kada, a former lover, for help.
Unfortunately, she realizes that they are now on opposite sides of an escalating war between the Commonwealth Union of Planets and an increasingly dangerous rebel alliance.
In trying to find who is threatening her life, they discover a plot to destroy a distant planet - a world inhabited by creatures that are the key to Nova's survival - and a conspiracy that threatens the stability of the Union Commonwealth.

The series gets better half way into book 2. This series starts slow and
confusing on plot but mainly with characters' story. Good writing and keeps
things interesting. Overall not bad but challenging dealing with
interspecies romance('till bk.2). 4/5 rating for series but 3.75 for this
book. Works as standalone or similar to book 0.

if you enjoy hamilton (maybe a bit less techno), and you don't enjoy over the top macho or sterile startrek, this is for you. The universe of Reher has depth and nice concepts. Worth your while! I have been reading sf for 49 years now and this ranks pretty high on my bookshelf.

This book is the same as sky hunter... Although it pertains to be number 2 in the series... Watch out, do not buy. Will try to report to Google now.
About the author
Living in Canada, it is inevitable that those who lack enthusiasm for snow-related activities tend to stay indoors for a good portion of the year.
Thank goodness for computers. And sci-fi. And eBooks!
I've always loved fantasy worlds and writing about what might be possible, given a certain suspension of disbelief and a rude assault upon the laws of physics.
Since I've always suspected that there is far too much gravity on this planet, I tend to take my people to other worlds.
Please visit my web site at www.chrisreher.com for info about my books and some of the (non-fiction) science behind some of the concepts used in the stories.
