 The Braxiatel Collection has been occupied by the Fifth Axis. This shouldn’t have happened: Brax picked this place to be safe, and surely he knows the history of time and space?
Bernice and her friends find themselves living under a military government. Bev joins the resistance. Adrian is thrown into a prison camp for aliens. Jason finds a comfortable little niche for himself in the new administration. Bernice’s half-human son, Peter, is now under threat every minute of every day.
Bernice finds herself caught in the middle of the occupation, her old friends, and her desperate need to protect her child.
---------------------------------------------
25 brand-new short stories all about Benny and her extended “family”: Jason, her ex-husband and all-round git; Irving Braxiatel, enigmatic owner of The Braxiatel Collection, a planetoid which houses a fantastic art and artefact gallery; Bev Tarrant, art thief and adventerurer; Adrian Wall, the Killoran architect and builder and father of Peter, Benny’s son. These are the tales of how they, and the others that surround them, cope under a military occupation. How they face life during wartime...

I'm reading the Bernice Summerfield books in order and I haven't reached this one yet, but this spare copy (acquired in a bulk purchase during a past Big Finish Summer Sale) is travelling with a relay book to jennymidget.

Journal Entry 4 by jennymidget from Bellbowrie, Queensland Australia on Tuesday, November 25, 2008
I loved this Bernice Summerfield, but it weirded me out - it was the usual Benny zaniness, but a hefty dose of somber, sad and even a bit shocking at times. Very emotional, and powerful because you could FEEL the fun feel you usually get from a Bernice Summerfield book was just under the surface, only muted because of the war. Shivers-down-the-spine kind of stuff!
