Futuristic/ Sci-Fi romance by Linnea Sinclair, and first of a series. Captain Chasidah Bergren has been unjustly set-up, court-martialed and dumped on a prison planet. Then she's rescued by the mercenary pirate Gabriel Sullivan, with whom she's had several run-ins throughout her career. Sully needs Chaz, to fight a terrible wrong, and corruption within the government. But Sully wants her for more than that reason. Chaz agrees to help, if it means getting out of prison. The plot is strong, the action is non-stop with great twists and turns. Our Heroes fight a lot of prejudice along the way. I enjoyed the story but it left alot of unanswered questions. This book differs from others by this author that I've read, in that it's told completely from the point of view of Chaz. In other novels by this author, we get an inner glimpse of the Hero's motivations, thoughts and feelings. IMO, this book would be better if the author had stuck to that formula. Still, a real page-turner, and I'm looking for the second in series. Worth a credit.
