Fast-paced Military SF with a strong female protagonist. San Kyarr is a novitiate within a secretive order. She is tasked by Fleet to infiltrate the home world of mankind’s most dangerous enemy. If caught, her mission could bring war to earth – long before its forces are ready. A competing faction within Fleet learns of the assignment and they send her own brother to destroy her. But San is set on a journey toward destinies greater than she imagined. As she evolves into a mysterious woman with the powers to send and receive quantum messages, she achieves humanity’s most unattainable dream of instantaneous interstellar communication.
