Alliances

Lyssa peate has found a tenuous balance between her double lives - that of the planet-discovering scientist, and the other, the space pirate bounty hunter razia. no longer on probation, razia still struggles to be thought of as more than a chocolate-fetching joke. but when the tough and feisty lizbeth carter interferes with a bounty, razia's worried her act is being stolen. lizbeth's not interested in taking razia's thunder, but she is interested in recruiting the caustic bounty hunter to help uncover a massive government insurance fraud. from the desert planet of d-882 to the universal bank archives to the capital city on s-864, the trail leads them deeper and deeper into a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of the universal government - and to one of the most painful chapters in lyssa's past.
