It’s not easy to tread lightly wearing steel-toed boots.

Sirantha Jax isn’t known for diplomatic finesse. As a “Jumper” who navigates ships through grimspace, she’s used to kicking ass first and taking names later—much later. Not exactly the obvious choice to sell the Conglomerate to the Ithtorians, a people whose opinions of humans are as hard as their exoskeletons.

And Ithiss-Tor council meetings aren’t the only place where Ambassador Jax needs to maneuver carefully. Her lover, March, is frozen in permanent “kill” mode, and his hair-trigger threatens to sabotage the talks—not to mention their relationship.

But Jax won’t give up on the man or the mission. With the Outskirts beleaguered by raiders, pirates, and the flesh-eating Morgut, an alliance with Ithiss-Tor may be humanity’s only hope.

Which has Jax wondering why a notorious troublemaker like her was given the job…

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Love this series!! This book started out slow. The first half was mostly politics as Sirantha and her crew attempt to broker an alliance with the Ithtorian. But about half way through the book we get back into the action that makes this series such a great read. Looking forward to more of this series soon.

Sending to Elsi for the Sci-fi/Fantasy VBB @ BookObsessed.com.

Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Received in yesterday's mail. Thanks for sending ... I'm really going to enjoy reading it.

This got here safe. I remember reading book 1 but not book 2 so this may wait a bit before reading.

I seem to have skipped book 2, so it took a bit to get into this. I thought the political world building of the Ithoroam home world fantastic though.

This was enjoyable, and I will have to track down a copy of Wanderlust to fill in my missing story background.

mailed to AmberC

A lovely surprise waiting for me when I got home from Thailand

As usual I enjoyed the adventures of Sirantha Jax. Great world building and well developed characters.

Travelling with another book. Books shouldn't travel alone

Hitchhiker! Thanks amberC. Unfortunately I haven't read or own the initial books of the series.

Hitchhiking with friends.

Thank you! I have had the first two books in this series (Grimspace and Wanderlust) for ages, lovely to continue the series!
