Twenty-five years before, the starship Mayflower disappeared, leaving only two survivors in an escape pod. Now it has reappeared, and Captain Breanna Delaney of the Colonial Militia has been assigned to recon the ship, in preparation for the Company to investigate the cause of the disappearance. She is assigned a crew of miscellaneous militia riffraff, including Caleb Sylvaine, an experienced soldier who never seems to advance because of his insubordination and wild actions off duty. Caleb is challenged by Breanna's reputation as the 'Ice Queen,' and resolves that he will have her in his bunk before the mission is over. But this mission is more dangerous than either Breanna or Caleb knows-their lives, and the lives of the crew depend on their working together.
Combining science fiction and romance into a seamless whole is more difficult than it might seem, and good SF/romances are few. This is one of the good ones! The story is a gung-ho SF adventure, melded seamlessly with the erotic attraction of the two protagonists to each other. For those who wonder about such things, this novel contains graphic violence, graphic heterosexual sex, and explicit language-none of which are jarring or out-of-place with the plot and ambiance of the story. This novel is a page-turner-I finished this one in one sitting, without getting up from in front of the computer screen! It was a great read, and I recommend it highly to fans of science fiction as well as romance.
