backbone when she's faced with unnerving situations that go beyond what she's
ever experienced in her sheltered life as a Natural--and that will make you

<span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:'Times New Roman';">Margaret Marr<br /><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal">As the Earth readies itself for war with the invading
Albegensi, Navajo Andrea Talltrees travels to the Thieves Quarter to hire
halfbreed smuggler Sinbad sh’en Singh to find her fugitive-from-justice
husband. When they meet, however, it’s an immediate clash of cultures as well
as personalities--plus a heavy dose of instant attraction! Refusing to admit
that he has fallen in love with a hated Terran, Sinbad reluctantly takes Andi
on a journey that will carry them halfway across the galaxy, where the
part-feline smuggler will call on some old friends for help and face one deadly
enemy with an old score to settle. In their search for Andi’s husband, they’ll
uncover a secret invasion that threatens to destroy the war-torn Terran
Federation, and will learn that it doesn’t matter how long a person loves but
simply that he does love. (Blurb borrowed from the publisher's buy page for
this book) </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have to say I enjoyed this story very much. The world the
characters live in isn't one I'd like to find myself in but it's quite unique
and very well done. I had no trouble visualizing the scenes and liking the
characters, particularly Sinbad.</p>
