The third book in the thrilling Donovan series, a sci-fi
action adventure set on a treacherous alien planet where
corporate threats and dangerous creatures imperil the lives
of the colonists.
Corporate assassin Tamarland Benteen's last hope is the
survey ship Vixen. With a load of scientists aboard
under the supervision of Dr. Dortmund Weisbacher,
Vixen is tasked with the first comprehensive survey
of the newly discovered planet called Donovan. Given that
back in Solar System, Boardmember Radcek would have
Benteen's brain dissected, he's particularly motivated to
make his escape.
The transition that should have taken Vixen years is
instantaneous. Worse, a space ship is already orbiting
Donovan, and, impossibly, human settlements have been
established on the planet. For Dortmund Weisbacher, this is
a violation of the most basic conservation tenets. Donovan
is an ecological disaster.
Down on Donovan, Talina Perez takes refuge in the ruins of
Mundo Base with the wild child, Kylee Simonov. But the
quetzals are playing their own deadly game: one that forces
Talina and Kylee to flee farther into the wilderness. Too
bad they're stuck with Dortmund Weisbacher in the process.
Back in Port Authority, Dan Wirth discovers that he's not
the meanest or deadliest man on the planet. Tamarland
Benteen is making his play for control of PA. And in the
final struggle, if Benteen can't have it, he'll destroy it all.
