Trained in biotechnology since childhood, she is responsible for seeding worlds that are inhabitable to humans, to make them livable.

And the very understated romance came to a very satisfying conclusion too... [spoiler] The female protagonist wants to do EVERYTHING to make sure Finn is safe and he asks her incedulously "you would destroy the whole galaxy for me?" [/spoiler] And, wow, this kind of love story that creeps up on y...
Original world-building and an engaging protagonist. A very slow building relationship between the two main characters, a fast pace and a well-thought out story. If you are searching for a great story and some seriously good writing, this is right for you - what you won't find is a steamy, quickly...
I thought this was a solid novel. I liked the plot line and the characters. I thought that Edie was sympathetic and understandable. The things she went through, though in the sci-fi context, were comparable to life experiences people reading this may have. The character of Finn was interesting a...
Like the first book in this duology (Song of Scarabaeus), this was a quick, fun read for me. However, although I ultimately liked it, I definitely did not enjoy Children of Scarabaeus as much as I enjoyed its predecessor. For one thing, Edie seems to have developed a pretty annoying martyr complex i...
This is definitely not my genre because I'm having a hard time understanding and remembering all the scifi terms and I can't even recall the actual spelling of the heroin's status as that is driving element in the entire book. Is that cybertech or cyberteck? Oh shit.The heroin Eddie, who works for t...
Okay... I was definitely not expecting this book to be so amazing! I also have to admit that I thought there would be a lot more romance than there was. Let's clarify this: if you go into this expecting sexytimes or romantic scenes, you will be very disappointed. This is a sci fi book, pure and s...
Song of Scarabaeus has been on my radar for a while, so when it came up as a pick in one of my book clubs it was time to read it and boy am I glad I did! Song of Scarabaeus is mostly science fiction with a hint of very tame and realistic romance. It was refreshing to see two people actually form an ...
Blurb from Goodreads, because I'm feeling lazier than usual: Trained since childhood in advanced biocyph seed technology by the all-powerful Crib empire, Edie's mission is to terraform alien worlds while her masters bleed the outlawed Fringe populations dry. When renegade mercenaries kidnap Edie, sh...
