USMC Sergeant Margaret Bloom learns early that to say no to a colonel, or a lieutenant—or a shape shifter—only leads to trouble. Deep trouble.
About the Book: After scientist Margaret, Mags, Bloom joins
the US Space Marine Corp. she gets to work with a brilliant professor who helps
her develop a weapon that fires with the order from the mind, not the trigger
finger. Therefore, she is shocked when she is sent from Earth to a faraway
destination in space as part of a military unit delegated to examine a deserted
ship built by aliens.
No argument she presents
convinces any of her superiors that she is not meant for fieldwork. Worse, one
of the men assigned to board the deserted ship is from the planet Veld.
Veld and Earth have
forged a co-operative pact to combat a greedy enemy call Trios. For Mags, the
problems that arise from dealing with the men on her military team are nothing when
it comes to working with the shapeshifting man from Veld. As a scientist, she
has a deep bias against such a man or beast. As a woman, things are entirely
different.
Our Review: Fans of both
science fiction and military thrillers will appreciate author Garnet’s
meticulous attention to the crisp lingo and patois common among stories
involving the military. As well, her gifted imagination for creating all the
gadgets and toys used by the characters to survive a brutal attack while
seeking a successful mission is right out of the best of sci-fi fiction.
