On her first assignment after graduation from university, Crystal finds herself in a remote area of space mapping small holes in the fabric of the universe. The project is to culminate in the creation of a stable route from civilization to this far away out post.She works with a variety of beings from other inhabited planets and one other crewmember from Mars – Jai. Though finding themselves in constant conflict in the beginning, their relationship slowly develops into one of respect and then, attraction, which is forbidden among the crew.While working strange holes begin to appear where previously there had been none, and the captain receives threatening messages from an unknown source demanding they cease and desist in their work and remove themselves from the area. The origin of the threat is eventually narrowed down to a suspicious ship which subsequently attacks and pirates take over Crystal’s vessel. The besieged captain and crew must regain control of their ship and defeat the pirates.Written in a journal entry format, this is an exciting space adventure with unique characters with an interesting reason for being where they are – on the back of beyond. They seemed like nice people and I became invested in what happened to them as well as entertained by storyline. I particularly enjoyed how the crew fights back to overcome the pirates.
