In this new military sci-fi thriller from the Nebula Award-winning
author of Cold Welcome, Admiral Kylara Vatta is back - with a
vengeance.
Ky beats sabotage, betrayal, and the unforgiving elements to lead a
ragtag group of crash survivors to safety on a remote arctic island. And
she cheats death after uncovering secrets someone is hell-bent on
protecting. But the worst is far from over when Ky discovers the
headquarters of a vast conspiracy against her family and the heart of
the planet's government itself.
With their base of operations breached, the plotters have no choice but
to gamble everything on an audacious throw of the dice. Even so, the
odds are stacked against Ky. When her official report on the crash and
its aftermath goes missing - along with the men and women she rescued -
Ky realizes that her mysterious enemies are more powerful and dangerous
than she imagined. Now, targeted by faceless assassins, Ky and her
family - along with her fiancé, Rafe - must battle to reclaim the upper
hand and unmask the lethal cabal closing in on them with murderous
intent.
