This is a must read -  I was so drawn in that I couldn't stop reading this story of Tompa Lee until it was over. She is a compelling character who is brought to life with intense mastery by Hoornaert. This girl has been betrayed and left behind  by society twice in her very tragic young life. Using everything in her emotional bag of tricks she is able to pull herself up and make a life for herself in the Space Navy.I love the alien life in the book and even the grenade explosion that brings for this trial by fire for Tompa Lee. A great Sci-Fi book is one that has elements that makes us believe this could be the future. When Hoornaert writes about travelling to Aliens and being subject to their justice system and their trial laws we believe it. We see Tompa Lee work on the strength she built from her early days in Manhattan to a woman with strength held by few.I hope there will be more!
