Synopsis

At the close of the twenty-fourth century, a series of revolutions has caused the galaxy to descend into chaos. With the Galactic Union Army stretched thin, mercenary units have arisen for those who have the need—and the means—to hire them.Kay, the alien member of the Cutter Force Initiative, has returned to her brutal home world of Vast on a mission of mercy. Before she joined the merc team, she was a great healer. And now her skills are sorely needed. Hundreds of Vastalimi—including her blood-kin—are mysteriously dying. But is the plague a work of nature, or is it a bioengineered virus, purposefully unleashed? Kay and Doc Wink will have to find out the hard way.With the Cutter Force light-years away, the two find the odds against them—and on a planet like Vast, where violence abounds and life is cheap, they may be facing a foe they can't defeat.

Another good read. Cutter Force Initiative is back and the dialog is up to snuff. The story ain't half bad, and even allows you to delve deeper in the background of your favorites characters, as a second book should. So, light sci-fi, good characters, great read... You won't mind more.......more

Goodreads review by Trike on November 24, 2023

This second installment of the Cutter’s Wars series is propulsive, one of the few books that actually deserves the appellation “breakneck”. Cutter’s mercenary crew is defending some farmers while their two medics are off investigating a possible pandemic on the Vastalimi homeworld. So we get two dif......more
