A Human settlement is destroyed and all signs point to an Yrmak raid as Imperial agents Tian Axmar and Brent Walker scour the site for clues. One thing they never expected to find was a survivor, a rare alien feline with unusual talents.
As
tensions between Humans and Yrmaks ratchet to the point of no return, Tian and
Brent must bring all their cyborg skills to bear as they follow a dangerous
trail of deception and misdirection.
The
feline, now dubbed Puss and strongly bonded to Tian, holds the key to many of
the questions driving the investigation. Unfortunately, that bond drives a
wedge between Brent and Tian’s working relationship, leaving Brent with second
thoughts about his decision to become a cyborg.
As
the evidence unfolds, it becomes clear that a devious plot to incite an
interspecies war will strike at the very heart of the Empire. With lives at
risk, there's no time to waste. Racing against the clock, Brent, Tian, and Puss
must stop the planned carnage, and this time for Brent and Tian… it’s personal.
***
Although love is an important element in the story, it's not your traditional romance. Brent and Tian are an item when the story opens - but the road ahead may be rocky. Puss is an important character in the story and although she's not a domestic moggy, most of you will recognize some of her behavior. Tian certainly did, remembering her childhood pet cat, Kira.
I hope you'll enjoy Puss's story as much as I did writing it. Click here to find the links to all the retailers. Oh - and it's available in print, too.

Congrats, Greta! Love your felinoid being!
ReplyDeleteThanks, so do I. There will be more from her, I think.
DeleteCongrats on the new release, Greta! Wonderful cover and I love your excerpt graphic. Puss has a sense of humor, I can tell. LOL
ReplyDeleteAll cats have a sense of humor, don't they?
DeleteLOL I agree most do. We've have some pretty curmudgeonly barn cats over the years, though.
DeleteCongratulations, Greta! That's a wonderful cover.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sharon. Rebecca does a wonderful job of translating what I want. Or gives me great suggestions when I'm a blank.
DeleteLOL it's those little details that make our pets endearing!
ReplyDeleteIt is, isn't it?
DeleteYAY!!! This sound like another good boundary-pusher book from you, exploring uncommon themes and that love isn't all roses. Plus, Cyborgs, so... heck yeah! :D
