This is the first book of the series, David is a retired soldier for the Milky Way Galaxy (it includes Earth) - soldiers in the future are huge, they pick the biggest men in the Milky Way Galaxy and they become soldiers, David has been enhanced, he is bigger, faster, quicker and smarter than most soldiers. Planets in the Milky Way have been at war with their enemies, the jit'suku for more than a century.Most civilians avoid soldiers because they are so large so retired and off duty soldiers tend to hang together. David usually visits The Rabbit Hole, a bar owned by another soldier he knows, most of the clients are retired military and workers from the maintenance shift on the Madhatter space station.While David is in the bar a woman comes in, he notices her immediately but knows shes not for him, she's fully human and women tend to avoid soldiers. Adele is looking for her aunt Della, she's told that Della will be in later, so she decides to wait, Della has encouraged Adele to join her on the space station, They are both Card Dealers who are also clairvoyant.Adele has a vision immediately after she touches one of the soldiers at the bar, she tells them there will be an attack by the jit'suku, and he should take the right corridor when it happens. Alex the owner of the bar is used to Della's foresight and knows she's alway right.Adele is not like most women, she is friendly with David and the other soldiers and he wants to spend time with her.This was great, a lot of action, a lot of love and the characters were well-defined and the world building was phenominal. A great read. I've already finished the 2nd book and have ordered all four.
