This book is sold as a romance novel and it does contain a very good romance, but it is a lot more. It has a science fiction story with elements of fantasy that is well thought out and relentlessly interesting.

Raheiran Special Forces Captain Gillane Davré wakes up on a space station 340 years in the future. While, as a gifted Raheiran she has some interesting powers such as telepathy, healing, and a bit of magic, she is definitely not devine. However, in the time she has been gone the Khalar, the race she was trying to help, have taken to worshiping her as a goddess. And if that isnt trouble enough, one of her devoted followers happens to be a very dishy admiral.

I was bothered by some inconsistencies, like why are there parrots on the space station, but the author compares the hero to an imaginary animal, and why Gillie plays billiards, but other games that are mentioned are also imaginary? However, that is a minor problem in a very good book that combines romance and adventure very well.
