Girl Gone Nova (Project Enterprise) (Volume 2)
Girl Gone Nova - Project Enterprise - Volume 2 Author:Pauline Baird Jones Best book (Long and Short Reviews); SingleTitles Reviewers' Choice Award; — TwoLips Recommended Read — Epic Book Award - Best Science Fiction Romance — A science fiction/action adventure romance novel — Doc--Delilah Oliver Clementyne's--orders are simple: do the impossible and do it yesterday. A genius/bad ass, she does the impossible on a regular b... more »asis. But this time the impossible is complicated by an imminent war between the Earth expedition to the Garradian Galaxy and the Gadi, an encounter with some wife-hunting aliens, and not one but two bands of time travelers.
The only way it could get worse? If the heart she didn't know she had starts beating for the wrong guy...
Helfron Giddioni--the Leader of the Gadi and half a galaxy--might be the guy most of the galaxy would like to shoot. So when he meets a woman who likes him, the fact that she is the most dangerous woman he's ever met should cool his jets. Or at least slow them down.
When yet another war looms on the event horizon, he's just a little too happy he and Doc have to work together to save the galaxy -- in the past, the present and possibly the future.
Doc didn't know she had an inner girl and Hel, well, he didn't know a woman could be more than a means to a political end.
Neither of them thought they could ever fall in love. If they can do the impossible and then do it again, surely they can find a way to make an intergalactic relationship work...
"Pauline Baird Jones does a wonderful job of getting into the minds (and hearts, and other parts of the anatomy) of her protagonists as she crafts a supple plot shot through with sexy romance. Pitch-perfect notes of villainy, heroism, and courage enhance the romantic story. Girl Gone Nova is either the most engaging and fun of any way-over-the-top SFnal adventure I've ever read or the most way-over-the-top of any engaging and fun SFnal adventure I've ever read. . . ." Alexis Glynn Latner, Hurricane Moon
"Girl Gone Nova had interesting characters that I cared about--especially the lead female and her quirks and flaws, an interesting universe and interesting situations. It was fast paced and action filled, it kept my attention and I didn't want to put it down." Dr. Eileen K. Stansbery, Space Physicist.
The events in the book occur after The Key, the first book in my Project Enterprise series. Look for Tangled in Time, Steamrolled and Kicking Ashe.
There is also a short story collection that contains two short stories set in the universe: Project Enterprise: The Short Stories. The series is romantic space opera, with some high octane action adventure thrown in because I could. In Tangled in Time, Steamrolled and in one of the short stories (Steam Time), I mixed in some steampunk.
I also like to mix humor into my books. You'll find the books sexy, but suitable for older teens.« less
