I received a complimentary copy of this book for my review. It is exciting and totally enjoyable. Dragonflies are tiny drones in need of talented helicopter pilots. Raina is one such pilot. She has lost a foot in a chopper crash in Afghanistan. Raina was rescued from the crash by Tye, a decorated soldier who has seen too much of war and death. They are asked to work together in a top secret mission involving "hover angels" that can infiltrate the smallest of places. The mission involves a media mogul and his son. As they are about to begin their mission, Raina is blindfolded, drugged and taken to a secret location by another group who are looking to recruit her for yet another drone project. This project would offer her unfettered access to technology with the goal of targeted assassination. As the story intensifies and gets about as exciting as possible, the last page reads, "You have reached the conclusion of Book 1." There is much potential in this science fiction thriller. I recommend it without reservation. The author has me hooked, and I will look for book 2. However, I definitely would be more interested in an entire book rather than serial format with cliff hanger.
