A strong but flawed woman, an alien man, a compelling story, vividly told, and the beginning of an exciting new science fiction series.Jenny Black Wolf, a civilian scientist and tracker, and Curran TaZarin, the Defender's Deniban First Officer, set out on what should have been a routine mission to Caldera to locate and rescue the passenger and crew of the military transport Orion.Caldera is a barely explored, volcanically active planet, located deep inside Alliance territory. Now the Orion's crew has disappeared into the Calderan wilderness, and there are Karghan marines on Caldera. They've torn the Orion apart looking for what they came for, didn't find it, and have started hunting the Orion's crew.As Jenny and Curran enter the Hell's Gate Lava Beds to begin their search, a deep but unintended psychic bond begins to form between them—a dangerous mind-link that neither of them wants. Now, the secrets each of them carry could destroy the mission. The secret the Orion is carrying could destroy worlds. A unique and compelling story. Awesome world-building.
