Now that he is dead she faces explusion from the sterile life of forced perfection unless she can make a brilliant discovery of her own by her rapidly nearing thirtieth birthday. She's certain that discovery can only be made off-planet.

But no Majj is allowed to leave the Institute.

So she does what she must and sneaks out.

Together they race through the galaxy on a quest that forces them to face their worst fears, and leaves both changed and with much more than they bargined for.


I really enjoyed this book. It had an Indiana Jones feel. The sex was good and not overwhelming. The characters were interesting with good motivations. The hero reminded me of Han Solo. And there was even a black Lab named Elvis.

I found this book easy to read. It kept me up wanting to read just a little more. This definitely made me want to keep reading the series.

On the SFR Rainbow it was on the Romance side but very close to the middle. Very close. It had spaceships and aliens, surprises and tech, but nothing complex enough to scare off any readers.

And did I mention the dog? :-) I love it when there's a dog.

I recommend this book.
