Synopsis:
The universe isn’t what it used to be.
With the new Alliance between the Triad and the United Coalition, Captain Tasha “Sass” Sebastian finds herself serving under her former nemesis, biocybe Admiral Branden Kel-Paten—and doing her best to hide a deadly past. But when an injured mercenary winds up in their ship’s sick bay—and in the hands of her best friend, Dr. Eden Fynn–Sass’s efforts may be wasted.
Wanted rebel Jace Serafino has information that could expose all of Sass’s secrets, tear the fragile Alliance apart—and end Sass’s career if Kel-Paten discovers them. But the biocybe has something to hide as well, something once thought impossible for his kind to possess: feelings . . . for Sass. Soon it’s clear that their prisoner could bring down everything they once believed was worth dying for—and everything they now have to live for.

Games of Command
Seller: Crappy Old Books, Barry, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: Used. In a galaxy not so far away (unless you?re an intergalactic mailman who just misplaced your star maps), ?Games of Command? invites you to explore the riveting world of space politics, where alliances are as stable as a Jenga tower in an earthquake and the plot twists are more convoluted than a family tree in a soap opera. Linnea Sinclair, in all her literary glory, crafts a narrative so electric that it might just require a warning label for those with pacemakers and a penchant for excitement. This isn?t just a book; it?s an odyssey through the cosmos where characters engage in strategic mind games that would make even the most seasoned chess player reconsider their life choices. Imagine, if you will, a universe where negotiation tactics are dissected over cups of steaming alien brew, and the stakes are higher than the prices of a pint in London. Sinclair employs the subtlety of a sledgehammer, but that?s all part of the charm. Who needs nuance when you can have unabashed spectacle? At the heart of this cosmic romp lies a protagonist who, much like that one friend who insists on bringing a unicycle to every gathering, is both enigmatic and utterly perplexing. You?ll find yourself wondering if they were born on a starship or simply dropped there after an unfortunate game of laser tag gone wrong. Their decisions oscillate between genius and sheer lunacy, leaving readers in a constant state of suspense, akin to watching a cat chase its tail for far too long. The dialogue sparkles with wit sharper than a Klingon?s bat?leth, and it?s not just the characters who engage in verbal jousting. Sinclair herself seems to be playing a game of linguistic chicken, daring you to keep up with her rapid-fire exchanges. It?s a linguistic rollercoaster that might leave you dizzy but also oddly satisfied, like finding a forgotten tenner in an old coat pocket. The world-building in ?Games of Command? is as intricate as a clock made by a caffeine-fueled Swiss watchmaker. Sinclair deftly constructs a universe that feels both familiar and bizarre, where alien cultures clash like overly enthusiastic rival football teams. Expect everything from political intrigue to unexpected romance, because why not throw in a love story when you?re already juggling a million plot strands? If you?re lucky, you might even spot a few plot devices that have been cleverly disguised as characters. But wait, there?s more! This tome isn?t just a feast for the mind. It?s also a treasure trove of interstellar wisdom, such as: how to negotiate with a species known for their three egos or the best way to avoid being caught in a space-time anomaly while trying to order a latte. If the characters don?t teach you the art of command, the footnotes might just enlighten you on the best way to dodge awkward questions about extraterrestrial fashion choices. Condition: Used. This copy has been lovingly thumbed through by readers who may or may not have been wearing space gloves while doing so. Expect a few dog-eared pages, some annotations that might rival the thoughts of a conspiracy theorist, and the faint aroma of a long-forgotten takeout. However, rest assured, it remains structurally sound and ready for another round of intergalactic shenanigans. Political intrigue thicker than a British fog. Dialogue that zings faster than a shooting star. A protagonist who might just be a space oddity. World-building that?ll leave you both dazzled and confused. Plot twists you can almost hear the ?whoosh? sound effects for. So, if you?re ready to strap in for a wild ride through the cosmos and prefer your space opera with a side of irony, ?Games of Command? is calling your name. Grab your copy today from Crappy Old Books, where the past is just a dusty shelf away, and the adventures are always just a page-turn away from absurdity. THIS BOOK BEARS THE CRAPPY OLD BOOKS STAMP. IF THAT IS UNDESIRABLE PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS. THE STAMP MARKS WHICH IS USUALLY TO THE FRONT AND BACK INNER PAGES SAYS SOLD BY CRAPPY OLD BOOKS WITH WEB SITE URL. IT IN NO WAY DEMINISHED FROM THE READING. IF YOU WANT A PRISTINE BOOK, PLEASE FIND ANOTHER BOOK IN BETTER CONDITION SOMEWHERE ELSE. Seller Inventory # 1313
