Synopsis
An outcast of the Eden Academy, physically unfit for military duty and lacking a civil service assignment, Mairin Shields is going nowhere fast. With little hope of leaving the outer rim of the Milky Way, Mairin agrees to participate in a classified experiment offering her genetic perfection and a chance to see the galaxy. Now, armed with her great-grandfather’s military knowledge and combat-refined instincts, Mairin is tasked with leading inexperienced troops in a war against a shadowy enemy using hauntingly familiar tactics. But the first rule of the military is “Hurry Up and Wait,” and Mairin learns this firsthand. Without transport to the fight, Mairin spends the downtime on a lush paradise world, getting to know her new body, her imprint, and her heart. Mairin meets Tallenaara, a beautiful Styrahi architect whose mission and past will come to challenge them both. Faced with the most difficult choice of her young life, Mairin Shields can only watch as her world spins out of control.

About the Author
Kevin's head has been in the clouds since he was old enough to read. Ask him and he'll tell you that he still wants to be an astronaut. Kevin has a diverse background in space and space science education. A former manager of the world-renowned U.S. Space Camp program in Huntsville, Alabama and a former executive of two Challenger Learning Centers, Kevin continues to work with space every day. Kevin lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado with his wife, two daughters, and two constantly fighting cats. His home is seldom a boring place. Kevin is a member of the Online Writing Workshop for Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror, Pikes Peak Writers, and the Colorado Springs Fiction Writers Group. His short fiction has appeared twice on the webzine Mindflights and in print with Andromeda Spaceways Inflight Magazine #56 and Twisted Dreams Magazine. Kevin's short story "Maelstrom" will appear in the forthcoming "Extreme Planets" anthology from Chaosium, due in early 2014. His novelette "Ascent" won an Honorable Mention in the 4th Quarter 2011 Writers Of The Future Contest. He can be found online at www.kevinikenberry.com.
