First in a series, Science fiction with a bit of mystery. Has the flavor of Honor Harrington without so many battles. Strong female lead character.
It was a great read.
Excellent! Captain Jani Kilian had been Evan Van Reuter's lover eighteen years ago, when a Commonwealth diplomatic corps, sent to establish peaceful relations with the alien idomeni, took sides in a civil war. Jani was presumed dead in the ensuing bloodbath and Evan went on to become the Commonwealth's Interior Minister. But Jani survived as well. Doctors gave her a new face and patched her broken body back together with illegally obtained idomeni genetic materials.
