About this ebook

An immense asteroid field is on its way to deliver a torrent of pathogens into this galactic sector, guaranteeing the destruction of any civilization in its path. Cyann, astrobiologist and Human-Delphian hybrid, is eager to join the research expedition dispatched to investigate.

Before they depart, she is called upon by the secretive members of a Delphian sect who believe that the elusive Tughan Wai, a supernatural creature of their own making, plays a part in this calamity. Her own genes hold the key to finding the Tughan and so she and her teammates are sent on a separate, secret mission to the outer rim.

She is not prepared when they are stranded among an alien species whose motivations are enigmatic at best. It seems that nothing can be done to stop the lethal asteroid as it barrels into a densely populated region. The mighty Tughan is not their salvation and so Cyann is forced to draw upon the mental aptitudes of her father's people and the intrepid resolve of the Humans to find her purpose in this fight for survival.

Ratings and reviews

Good series. Ending could use corrections or some rewrite but overall ended pretty good for this series. It was slow engaging for me earlier in series but glad that it came together in end. Thought it left some parts to story somewhat unsettled but made some effort to satisfy readers. Perhaps more a hasty ending. Despite its outcome, I would take another look into this world if there was something worth exploring.

Nothing much new here. Not even a good try at tying up loose ends. Felt forced and tacked on to a series.

Just now finished the five book series and it is one of those that you can't seem to put down and when you do, you are drawn back to it to find out what is going to happen next. Keeps you enthralled and entertained. A truly well written and presented story. Thank you Miss Reher.

About the author

Living in Canada, it is inevitable that those who lack enthusiasm for snow-related activities tend to stay indoors for a good portion of the year.
Thank goodness for computers. And sci-fi. And eBooks!

I've always loved fantasy worlds and writing about what might be possible, given a certain suspension of disbelief and a rude assault upon the laws of physics.
Since I've always suspected that there is far too much gravity on this planet, I tend to take my people to other worlds.
