Publisher's Synopsis
If you like strong, determined, talented women who know what they want and how to get it, in a man's world that should preclude feminine values, you will love this book. All of Mr. Tucker's books feature these heroines, capable, yet willing to learn, sometimes on the fly. Strong, yet vulnerable. The Alfuego is cast off from a Phyrric victory, lost in space for nearly three hundred years, stretching in light years to far beyond any part of space ever explored by man. Kept in sleep mode, they eventually are brought out to a solar system that shows promise. They have to settle somewhere, what else to do? Encountering those that would befriend them, and those that would happily eat them, Captain Leala Corrinder must find a way to save what is left of her crew, make a home in a distant corner of the galaxy, and build a family. All typical desires, not so easily attained in this futuristic, difficult and violent world. Hold on tight as she figures it out, highs and lows, headaches and heartaches, love, lust, violence and battles everywhere. But can she triumph in this dangerous place? Of course we expect it, but it is one hell of a wild ride on the Alfuego! Remember, in space, everything is so much bigger, so much colder, and so damned dangerous. Easy reading font.
