Customer Reviews

Chocolate, Aliens, and a kickin' heroine... What's not to love?

This book is extremely timely. In a universe where Earth has acquired space travel technology from other planets, one woman risks her life to try to break a mega-corporation's stranglehold on natural resources. In the not-so-distant future... I especially like the new vocabulary Royer has invented, since of course in the future language will be different too. An exciting read with just enough connection to real issues to make it really delicious.
