Char Meadowlark is being rushed up to the Imperial Space Station by her friend Mike to avoid a pending eco-terrorist attack. Unfortunately, her timing is a bit off, and the attack occurs while she is at the airport. Saved by Jake, the pilot of the Space Junque, he flies her to her destination. Amidst the terrorist attacks, ancient gods appear to take control. Will Char survive the attacks, an encounter with the newly emerged goddess and the two men suddenly competing for her attention?This is a fast-paced novella. It covers a lot of ground without feeling rushed. The world is a very different place, and is in the midst of great upheaval, and yet all the changes are easily followed and understood.Char is an interesting character who is easily understood. She is the strongest, most defined character in the story. As such, she is the most memorable. The relationships Char engages in feel a bit rushed, but make sense given the tremendously difficult situations she finds herself in. A word of caution, they are a bit steamy.This is an exciting start to the series. I can't wait to read more about Asherah and the Empanii.
