Capt. Lindana Nyota and her crew are living mission to mission, acting as privateers for the Alliance by stealing Soviet supplies. Now they are down one crew member, and the replacement is the last person Lindy ever expected to see again. Lt. Gabriel Steele, an intelligence agent for the Alliance, has spent his career in deep cover and has sacrificed almost everything, including his relationship with Lindy. When they receive knowledge of a superweapon, Lindy and Gabriel become enemy number one on everyone's radar, including the Alliance's. To survive, Gabriel must gain Lindy's trust and possibly rekindle what they lost so long ago. Bachar (
The Sephra's Tear) does an amazing job of building an alternate history in which the Cold War never ended and has expanded across galaxies.
VERDICT Lindy is a strong, relatable character who doesn't easily depend on others but is loyal to those who have actually gained her faith. Gabriel has depth; he knows he is trying to make amends for the past and at the same time remains his confident and cocky self. A great read for sf romance fans.
