5 - "I just want you to know-whatever happens-this was worth every moment." Stars! 5 - "I just want you to know-whatever happens-this was worth every moment." Stars!I love this series; I have absolutely nothing bad to say about it. Nina Croft has in essence taken everything I loved about the Star Wars, Star Trek and X-Men film franchises, added some brilliant twists and unforgettable characters, and delivered up a space saga that is literally firing on all cylinders.Captain Tannis has been a full fixture in the previous books in this series and I have been itching to get to know more about her. This book is hers and her story is quite a triumph of good over adversity. Nina's back.

Or, at least, she doesn't picture herself as such.
Callum is determined to discover the truth, but his own people will stop at nothing to prevent it from coming out. The assignment: protecting the most powerful man in the Universe.After five hundred years, Callum Meridian, founding member of the Collective, is bored out of his mind. With a coup brewing and the crew of El Cazador close to tossing him off the ship, Callum turns to Tannis. She is one job away from her lifelong goal--to achieve the immortality she craves. But can Callum really trust the one
