Summary

Anna nearly dies, along with all her family, at age four from the deadly Cacao virus. But she survives, thanks to a poisonous red-headed krait. The medical community is excited since there is no known cure for the virus, but Anna and her snake, Red, have a symbiotic relationship - containment, not cure. If she is ever separated from Red, she will die.

Anna struggles through foster homes. As her krait becomes known and valuable throughout the three star empires as one of only a handful of such snakes, she fights off attempts to kill her and snatch Red. She even comes to wonder if her brilliance in school and eventually at deciphering code is somehow connected to her constant companion.

When the Naval Intelligence Agency, the NIA, recruits her, her adventures grow beyond fending off thieves and killers to tracking down interstellar smugglers as part of an elite team, but the smuggling cartel are quick to fight back. In the midst of space battles and well-placed assassins, Anna is convinced that Red's presence may make the difference in survival or death, not just for her but her entire NIA team.

Fun story

Fun little book with great characters. Would recommend to all especially people more interested in character development and plot rather than too much sex which a lot of books seem to focus on.

There’s just something about it ?

There’s just something about the author and his stories. The themes appear simple yet the stories just pulls you along

Quite enjoyable book

A new series, after finishing the author’s another series. Quite different but none the less enjoyable and believable. Narration was quite good too. Surprisingly for both series all of the book are available on plus catalog, rather than usual ‘first o e is free’.

average

very predictable story, main character a bit sickening. this may be partly due to the narration, the main character sounds too childish even when she is in her late teens.
not very believable

A young women's journey

This story is suitable for young adults and older adults, it follows a young women's struggles to early adulthood in a sci-fi setting. Central to the story is a symbiotic relationship between the central character and a snake.

excellent

spy novels are not my normal genre, but the symbiotic relationship intrigued me, and it's an included title, I wasn't disappointed. Full of heart stopping action along with human frailties kindness and the evil men do. the narration is full of emotion and characterization. I will definitely be getting book 2, free or not.
