Imani James was a hunter, the kind of game ranger that tracked poachers and protected wildlife reserves in Tanzania after serving in the army for most of her twenties. She was good at her job, the best, but getting information and support from the Intersolar Union to protect Renata, the human colony on Yaspur, was like pulling teeth. So much so, that it reminded her of the corruption and illegal trade that plagued her work back on Earth.
When Imani finds out that Arms Master Vindilus Calgari is leaving Renata to "investigate" a lead on what's been happening to the colony, she grows suspicious. She's done her research. Vindilus was a black market enforcer before he donned his starched uniform. What's to say he won't make a sly deal that puts the fragile colony in jeopardy?

So much so, that it reminded her of the corruption and illegal trade that plagued her work back on Earth.
When Imani finds out that Arms Master Vindilus Calgari is leaving Renata to "investigate" a lead on what's been happening to the colony, she grows suspicious. She's done her research. Vindilus was a black market enforcer before he donned his starched uniform. What's to say he won't make a sly deal that puts the fragile colony in jeopardy?
Or worse. What if he's just incompetent?
Imani's hard-headed suspicions and sharp wit push Vindilus over the edge. He's been keeping secrets from her for months, but not for the reasons she thinks. When an unexpected attack and rising tempers lead them to an accidental convergence, their lives are thrown into uncharted territory. Will they learn to accept each other before their enemies gain the upper hand?
I feel like the author found a good balance in this book, and it was a fun and breezy read, really quite enjoyed it, it's not high literature like most things I read, but fun and entertaining.
