Grounded for her Top Gun attitude, a young Mars colony pilot jumps at the chance to fly a covert mission to enemy Earth in order to save her world from starvation.

Earth-Mars relations couldn’t be worse, and Jessamyn's brother is captured in the raid. Breaking rules of no contact, Jess finds an ally in Pavel, but their friendship only makes more agonizing the choice before her: find her brother or save Mars?

    How to best to describe our heroine Jessamyn? Picture a younger Han Solo at the flight academy doing what he thinks is right when flying his ship, a little difficult with authority but a great pilot doing what needs to be done (and getting in trouble for it too) and that's probably a pretty good description of Jess's character (less fights and shooting though). It's a little ways in the future, Mars isn't in contact with Earth any more, but they still need to get some supplies. Two different societies and Jess is right in the middle of it all trying to save Mars. Earth society has changed and not for the better and our main villain is Chancellor Lucca and she puts Cruella DeVille (from 101 Dalmations) to shame! The Chancellor is also Pavel's (Jessamyn's love interest) aunt so it makes everything a little more complicated…. She’s still writing these books and I can’t wait for the next installment!
