Publisher Description
Admiral Dael Caydoc heads up the Advance Fleet to find a new homeworld for the Oconodian people. Joined by Commander Aniwyn “Spinner” Seclan, larger-than-life, reckless, and not Dael’s first choice as CAG, Commander of the Air Group, she has to admit Spinner is a brilliant pilot.
Spinner finds Admiral Caydoc an uncompromising, rigid, pain of an officer in the Oconodian Space Fleet. Dael is also the most stunning woman Spinner’s ever met. When the two women clash immediately, it only confirms her suspicion it’s going to be hell to work with a woman who both exasperates and attracts her.
While running into countless dangerous situations, Dael and Spinner realize they have more in common than they thought. It takes brave words of love for them to persevere when disaster strikes, and it’s up to Dael and Spinner to save the future for the people of Oconodos—and each other.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Brooke (the Supreme Constellations series) opens a new series that will leave readers unfulfilled. Admiral Dael Caydoc is in command over a fleet of five ships with an important mission: find a new home world for the Ocondonian people. To do it, she'll have to find a way to work with Aniwyn "Spinner" Seclan, a gutsy pilot known for her luck in gambling and disregard for protocol. The world-building is shallow and the prose is sometimes painfully clunky ("Their initial screens were clear, so if they can manage to not remove them, and you know as well as I do that some people become completely claustrophobic after a while, they should be fine also"). The lack of chemistry between the clich d, uptight admiral and the loose-cannon subordinate is hard to ignore. From a rescue mission sparked by an unlikely catastrophe to the final reveal of the uncompelling impetus to abandon their home world, there's a consistent promise of tension that never delivers.
