Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Award-winning author Linnea Sinclair brings her special sizzle to science fiction with this action-packed blend of otherworldly adventure and sexy stellar romance.…

After a decade of piloting interstellar patrol ships, former captain Chasidah Bergren, onetime pride of the Sixth Fleet, finds herself court-martialed for a crime she didn’t commit–and shipped off to a remote prison planet from which no one ever escapes. But when she kills a brutal guard in an act of self-defense, someone even more dangerous emerges from the shadows.

Gabriel Sullivan–alpha mercenary, smuggler, and rogue–is supposed to be dead. Yet now this seductive ghost from Chaz’s past is offering her a ticket to freedom–for a price. Someone in the Empire is secretly breeding jukors: vicious and uncontrollable killing machines that have long been outlawed. Gabriel needs Chaz to help him stop the practice before it decimates Imperial space. The mission means putting their lives on the line–but the tensions that heat up between them may be the riskiest part of all.

Synopsis:

In this follow-up to "Finders Keeper" Captain Chasidah Bergren teams up with her roguish rescuer to stop a conspiracy of epic proportions. Original.

About the Author

A former news reporter and retired private detective, Linnea Sinclair has managed to use all her college degrees (journalism and criminology) but hasn't soothed the yearning in her soul to travel the galaxy. To that end she's authored several science fiction and fantasy novels, including Finders Keepers, GABRIEL'S GHOST and An Accidental Goddess (all of which Spectra will reprint). When not on duty with some intergalactic fleet she can be found in Fort Lauderdale, Florida with her husband and their two thoroughly spoiled cats. Fans can reach her through her website at www.linneasinclair.com.

This book was a gift from a friend of mine whose recommendations are always good, and this book did not disappoint. It’s full of political intrigue, space-opera style, xenophobia, and a roguish character that might just make you sweat.
Gabriel Sullivan is the star of this book, despite not being the “main character.” He is a rebel, suave and confident and on the bottom of it all seeking acceptance. He crosses political lines to get at the woman his heart wants, someone who has never had the same ideals as he. But he’s about to change that, as a government conspiracy involving the horrific breeding of a military machine, so to speak, is discovered. He’s got to deal with bringing her on board, despite her being his long-time enemy, while fighting to make things right, complicated by his feelings for her and his need for acceptance. I think that despite him not being my type, his believable ability to make women swoon is what makes the hard-pounding story most intense. Maybe a little overdone, but in this case it works.
9.5/10
