The Key by Pauline Baird Jones

This writer has captured the excitement, danger, and suspense when people from earth exploring more than one galaxy meet a dangerous force that wants to overcome all other peoples. Her heroine is strong, principled, and beautiful. Quite a combination. I read the first two pages after receiving the book and was unable to quit reading from then on. The writer has good command of her craft and doesnt' disappoint.

Her best yet!

I am not a big sci-fi fan but this book is an exception. Ms. Jones does an awesome job of combining action and adventure with just the right amount of romance and a great sense of humor. I couldn't put this book down. I think this is one of her best books yet. This is definately a book you will want to read again and again.

NICE!

I loved it! I couldn't put it down! The story got me from the first page, and I didn't come up for air until I got to the end. What a great ride! This is intelligently written, fun, with believable characters. I loved Sara Donovan's character! She rocks! Another really fun book from Pauline B Jones! Thanks Pauline!

Journey of a lifetime!!

For fans of Pauline B. Jones AND for Sci-Fi lovers, you can't beat this book! Gripping, exciting, wonderful plot! The space battle is a work of art! Also has great humor and characters that are real - not always an easy feat with a Sci-Fi style book. There's romance, but this is not just for chicks - my 17 yr. old son LOVED it!! It crosses genres and you will love this book and remember Sara Donovan long after the last page! Give yourself a treat and read this book!

Dang!

That's what Sara Donovan would say. What a ride! Pauline Baird Jones has ventured where she's never ventured before, and I'm one pleased, satisfied reader who tagged along with The Key's characters for the ride of a lifetime. Dang! A female U.S. Top Gun is part of a mission to another galaxy where three factions are looking for the key to the secrets of a lost civilization. Sara is shot down & rescued by a seriously hot alien pilot, with dreads, who's stranded on the same small planet. The rescuer, Fyn, becomes the rescued when Sara's team picks them up--but they both have secrets, secrets that can destroy the love that grows between them & promises to rescue both of them. The Key is full of believable characters, and military, flying, and combat lingo. Sara never slips out of character. In fact, she never blinks. If you happen to be male and read the words 'throw down,' run away. If you read the word 'nice,' read faster. You won't be sorry. Neither will anyone else who reads The Key. Sharon K.
