Talk is cheap when lives are in jeopardy
Sirantha Jax is a “Jumper,” a woman who possesses the unique genetic makeup needed to navigate faster than light ships through grimspace. With no tolerance for political diplomacy, she quits her ambassador post so she can get back to saving the universe the way she does best—by mouthing off and kicking butt.
And her tactics are needed more than ever. Flesh-eating aliens are attacking stations on the outskirts of space, and for many people, the Conglomerate’s forces are arriving too late to serve and protect them.
Now, Jax must take matters into her own hands by recruiting a militia to defend the frontiers—out of the worst criminals, mercenaries, and raiders that ever traveled through grimspace…

Being behind works in my favor. This one ends in a cliffhanger and I have the next book (looking right at it!) to read right now (if I want too). I have a few others to read first and then I will be right back in Sirantha's world.I loved the growth in this one even though I was pissed at times. I un...
Holy shit, that ending was EPIC. This would be a 4.5/5 but I had to take stars away for unnecessary relationship drama and tomfoolery. I am just glad I have the next two ordered and on their way already. And if I love triangle comes up (my senses are tingling), I am gonna be pissed.
Killbox picks up right after Doubleblind, Jax's diplomatic mission to Ithiss-Tor having succeeded. The first thing she does? Quit. She's had enough of diplomacy. It doesn't take long for her and the rest of the crew to find other employment, though, as the Conglomerate wants to hire March as Command...
This is my favorite book in the series yet.Yes, there are some things that bugged the hell out me. Like how, for example, everyone Jax knows happens to be the most brilliant person in their field, and the only person in the universe who could figure out "X." March is the bestest pilot ever, but wait...
