I really enjoyed #1 of this series, Grimspace, so really looking forward to this one as well. It's kind of got a Firefly/Serenity feel to it!

Yep, enjoyed this one too! Kind of an exhausting read though, they are always on the run or fighting, sometimes both!

Broke and unemployed, "Jumper" Sirantha Jax accepts a diplomatic mission for the government—only to find herself up against Syndicate criminals, man-eating aliens, and her own grimspace-weakened body.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Enjoyed this second book in the Sirantha Jax series as much as if not more than the first book. Wonderful characters and lots of action. Really looking forward to getting my hands on the rest of this series soon.

Happy Reading!!!

Yes, yes, YES! I got home tonight and found 6 packages of books waiting for me, including this book. I'm excited to get it, 'cause I really enjoyed the first book in the series.

In the lovely package of books waiting for me when I got home today.

Thank you.

This story picks up right where Grimspace left off, where she has brought down the primary ruling regime of the universe, the Farwan Corporation. A power vacuum has ensured and the Conglomerate steps in and tries to hold on to power. The Conglomerate appoints Sirantha as ambassador to Ithiss-Tor, a standoffish, xenocentric culture of insectoid like aliens, with a bit of serpent thrown into the mix. But there's a catch, Sirantha has been threatened by the dominant organized criminal operation that would like to see this diplomatic mission fail. So off goes Sirantha with her cast of characters, the mercenary and her lover March, Vel, the Ithiss-Tor bounty hunter who was sent to capture her in Grimspace, Dina the lesbian mechanic, and Jael, a genetically superior human. They escape the capitol planet and to avoid capture set off on a rather circuitous adventure that finds them battling the man-eating Morgut, entering into a vicious war on the planet Lachion, which March most recently called home, and then facing off with the organized crime syndicate out to sabotage Sirantha and her mission.

A great, fun read full of adventure. I love this series!

Chosen on the SFF VBB.

I pulled this from my TBR pile and discovered after reading it that I had never journaled it as getting here. I'm so sorry if you thought your book went astray AmberC. I read books one and three of this series several years ago. So as this was out of order it took a little to remember some of the earlier events. I really liked this book. I remember struggling with book three, but this was engaging and a fun read.

In its pages, while reading, I found the following fortune cookie fortunes:

Now is the time for peace in your life. Go along with other's ideas.

Now is the time to call loved ones at a distance. Share your news.

I thought them rather fitting to the state of the world right now.

This was part of a "Blind Date with a Book!" release. The book was left wrapped in brown craft paper with a description written on the front and left in the Little Free Library.
