By all accounts, Sirantha Jax should have burned out years ago…
As the carrier of a rare gene, Jax has the ability to jump ships through grimspace—a talent which cuts into her life expectancy, but makes her a highly prized navigator for the Corp. But then the ship she’s navigating crash-lands, and she’s accused of killing everyone on board. It’s hard for Jax to defend herself: she has no memory of the crash.
Now imprisoned and the subject of a ruthless interrogation, Jax is on the verge of madness. Then a mysterious man breaks into her cell, offering her freedom—for a price. March needs Jax to help his small band of rogue fighters break the Corp monopoly on interstellar travel—and establish a new breed of jumper.
Jax is only good at one thing—grimspace—and it will eventually kill her. So she may as well have some fun in the meantime…

Reread by AudiobookI've changed this from a 4 to a 3 out of 5 star rating because I'm a lot disappointed with this re-read by audiobook. I think Suzanna Duff did an okay job with narration but her high-pitched whinish voice reminded me of me that it drove me bananas because it made my perception of ...
While this is book 1 in a 6 book series, it functions quite well as a stand alone. Fast paced with lots of action, I'm interested in picking up the next installment. First person present tense worked really well with the particular unreliability of this narrator. A quibbles: Why is Grimspace call...
Please note that I gave this book 4.5 stars that I rounded up to 5 stars on Goodreads.So I really did like this book! I just had a problem with some of the world building and the constant messes that Sirantha kept getting herself into. I think after her last kidnapping I just sighed. That said, I lo...
Yes! A new series to get obsessed with!
