Summary

Air Command pilot Nova Whiteside is assigned to a remote outpost to guard the construction of a tethered orbiter, Skyranch Twelve, against rebel sabotage. The difference between the well-ordered Union air fields and this dusty garrison is made painfully clear when she runs afoul a brutal commander of ground troops.

When she is trapped behind enemy lines in a bloody uprising, she meets Djari, a civilian whose trust in the governing Union is shattered by what he has witnessed.

Indeed, not all runs according to protocol aboard the new station, and she soon suspects that more than farming is being done up there. When she uncovers the treacherous and illicit schemes taking place, it seems that local riots are the least of their troubles.

Prequal eh?

Is there actually such a word? I suppose so now that it's in common parlance. But who ever invented the word and the concept should be strung up by their wedding tackle.
Phew! That feels better, having got that of my chest. Having said all that. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
I remember me dear old dad calling stories and plays on the radio "Theatre of the mind". I think this, the first book in a series of books definitely qualifies as Theatre of the Mind and I look forward to listening to all that is to come even though this book is a "Prequal" GRRRRR!! (No reflection upon the quality of the book)

Good story, strong female lead,excellent narrator

The story has a good pace with action, adventure and danger. Could not put the book down. Emily, as narrator, makes the story and characters come alive

An Excellent Story

This is an excellent story which seamlessly moves from Space combat, to intrigue, to personal strife. Well performed by the Emily Woo Zeller, the only reason I have not given 5 stars is that the narrator gives the main character a really annoying squeak when she is trying to perform authority or anger etc, However I would still recommend this, and have already bought the next book.

that's why it's free

Awful weak characters. There are no redeeming features to this book. This book is terrible.

Plodding clap trap

A plot so thin and predictable why bother with rest of the series. Just a free one to hook you in.
