This book starts out quick and moves very well.  We have an Earth that has been destroyed by war and those that still live there do so with the help of the Mars Colony where Big Business and Mankind reside.  The author has an interesting concept in how she set up the legal conditions for living on Mars.  Kind of elitist but with opportunity available.  Earth itself is gritty and dangerous and nowhere near the opportunity unless you get notices by the Mars folks.Here we have an Earth born Mercenary team having picked up a mysterious girl that hears things.  They are contracted to bring the girl to Mars.  On their way, they run into others trying to kill them all and pick up a smuggler pilot trying to stay out of the limelight while they complete their mission.There is action, intrigue, politics of a sort, a love (LOVE) interest and very nice character development starting for several of the key folks.I really liked this volume and hope to see the next one soon.
