Synopsis

When a number of scientists are mysteriously killed on an insignificant scientific outpost on the planet of Loria and no alarm is raised, Commander Rickets of the Galactic Space Arm (GSA) is angered that no one can explain why. Rickets orders Lieutenant Amanda Bostick, along with two armed Guardians, to investigate. All three have faced setbacks in their careers, and time is against them: the GSA is demanding answers within ten days. But they have no idea what to expect as there are few reports on the planet. Why are the scientists being killed? Is there more to the mission than first appears? Are the sentient Lorians who inhabit the planet more of a threat than the GSA realize?

This book actually rates 2.5 stars from me but I rounded up to 3 because I read the entire book and was mildly interested in it in spite of its irritants. The book blurb tells you the plot so I will concentrate o......more

Goodreads review by Tim

Mixed feelings. Bunn is a "Christian writer" who has written in many genres, not often SF. His experience shows, as you'd expect from someone who lectures on novel writing. Is this a good SF book? I don't know. I will remember the crew bonding, a key theme. Not so much the guy who hates her for no g......more

And why isn’t anyone reading this book? It looks inviting enough. It was my first introduction to a seemingly very busy author with man......more
