Academy graduate Natalya Regyri stood first in line for her pick of Engineering Officer jobs, until, at the graduation party, a classmate turned up dead. Now, betrayed by her friends and framed for murder, she must flee beyond the reach of the Confederation...and any semblance of civilized society.
With a damaged second-hand ship and TIC interceptors dogging her step, she nets a smuggling contract that might just get her back on her feet and in control of her destiny. But only if she's willing to make an ore run back to the place she's wanted for murder, and into the arms of the authorities... ...who somehow know she's coming.
I've always really liked this side series of the Solar clipper series, Natalya and Zoya are just fun characters, and the people that they meet along the way are also nice. I also find that in these ones Lowell really hit the sweet spot on his "villains" where they are not too uncomfortable. Really a nice read :)
Very fun addition to the Nathan Lowell series of stories in the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper.
