I really liked this book. I tried this author due to a favorable book review. It is in the style of Susan Grant with space ships and lots of action and unusual characters. The action starts on page one and continues at a steady pace. A Union of different worlds, each with distinctive people very well drawn. A warrior heroine, Captain Cyani, with a don't touch me attitude who rescues a prisoner, Soren a Byralen with a need for touch to stay alive. An evil enemy who tries to enslave the unique people in the Union. During the rescue, they crash land on a remote Union outpost. Captain Cyani,needs to get back to her world, Azra, in order to keep her twin brother safe from the Queen of the Celibate Sisterhood who seems unusually harsh toward Cyani's family. Resolving the conflict was inevitable, it is a romance after all but gettting there was adventurous and fun. We meet Cyani's twin who is a complex man and I hope his story is next. With all the interesting people there are lots of stories to choose from for a great series.
