Now in paperback, the third book in the Donovan series returns to the
treacherous alien planet where corporate threats and dangerous creatures
imperil the lives of the colonists.
Corporate assassin Tamarland Benteen's last hope is the survey ship
Vixen. Under the supervision of Dr. Dortmund Weisbacher, the
scientists of Vixen are tasked with the first comprehensive survey of
the newly discovered planet called Donovan. Given that back in Solar
System, Boardmember Radcek would have Benteen's brain dissected, he's
motivated to make his escape.
The transition that should have taken Vixen years is instantaneous.
Worse, a space ship is already orbiting Donovan, and, impossibly, human
settlements have been established on the planet. For Dr. Weisbacher,
Donovan is an ecological disaster.
Down on Donovan, Talina Perez takes refuge in the ruins of Mundo Base
with the wild child, Kylee Simonov. But the quetzals are playing their
own deadly game: one that forces Talina and Kylee to flee farther into
the wilderness. Too bad they're stuck with Dortmund Weisbacher in the
process.
Back in Port Authority, Dan Wirth discovers that he's not the meanest or
deadliest man on the planet. Tamarland Benteen is making his play for
control of PA. And in the final struggle, if Benteen can't have it,
he'll destroy it all.
