Will keep your interest from beginning to end.
Elaine Graham-Leigh gives her faraway colony and her two female protagonists a rich and believable history. There are some echoes of Frank Herbert’s magisterial DUNE saga, which sets Graham-Leigh up there with the giants of the genre.
Great book!
Fabulous read!
