When I originally read the description of this book I wasn't that interested.  A fusion of fantasy and science fiction just didn't make that much sense to me.  Moreover I had just finished Star Fire ( same character but chronologically before this book ) which is a great military science fiction book.  After reading a couple of reviews I discovered that I wasn't the first to have this reaction.  I am pleased to report that my fears were completely unfounded.  I strongly recommend reading this book if you have interest in science fiction or fantasy.The essence of the story is the main character, Vince Lombard, through events discovers and fairy from old earth while gambling on a casino space station.  The government and other alien forces are after this beautiful little creature for whatever nefarious purposes aliens and governments might have.  Vince is a retired g-marine who was forced into an early retirement in Mike Lee's Star Fire book.  Vince takes on the duty of protecting this ancient treasure.
