About this ebook
In this new military sci-fi thriller from the Nebula Award–winning author of Cold Welcome, Admiral Kylara Vatta is back—with a vengeance.
Ky beats sabotage, betrayal, and the unforgiving elements to lead a ragtag group of crash survivors to safety on a remote arctic island. And she cheats death after uncovering secrets someone is hell-bent on protecting. But the worst is far from over when Ky discovers the headquarters of a vast conspiracy against her family and the heart of the planet’s government itself.
With their base of operations breached, the plotters have no choice but to gamble everything on an audacious throw of the dice. Even so, the odds are stacked against Ky. When her official report on the crash and its aftermath goes missing—along with the men and women she rescued—Ky realizes that her mysterious enemies are more powerful and dangerous than she imagined.
Now, targeted by faceless assassins, Ky and her family—along with her fiancé, Rafe—must battle to reclaim the upper hand and unmask the lethal cabal closing in on them with murderous intent.

Moon writes good action adventure, but her female characters are all negligible or incredibly foolish, yielding to overly emotional reactions despite having a history of knowing that their reactions have regularly been right before. Despite having been the targets of multiple assassination attempts each, when the evidence exists that the threat environment is high they still engage in risky behaviour (being blasé about their security team not being where they should, not telling confidants about attacks, taking actions with a high risk of exposure when they are trying to hide, etc, etc). This all takes the story from a fun romp to a cringy read, far too often.

Great characters in slightly different situations. No proper villains, but
the central conflict is satisfactory. Wraps up too neatly but otherwise the
ending feels great.
