I really expected to not like this book...  it was an odd number and very short (just barely over 200 pages).  None of the Donsaii stories are long, but this was closer to novella length.I did like it. Dahners gets back to the roots of the story; he takes a fictional but scientifically plausible situation and runs away with "what ifs".  A lot of this and some interesting characters are what make this series so enjoyable for me.  This story got really bogged down with 'nerds in love' in the middle parts, but the rest of the plot lines kept it going.Ideally; combining "Defiant" (#9), "Wanted" (#10) and "Rescue" (#11) into one book would have made a better overall story. This one, however not only can stand alone, but also is the best of the three most recent books.
