Major Ariane Kedros served on a mission that resulted in the obliteration of a whole solar system. She and the rest of the crew weren't told the objective of the mission. Afterwards, they were all given new identies and lives. Now, her former crew members are being murdered. Ariane is made active again, in a covert plan to draw out the killer. Can Ariane find the killer and fight her guilt and addictions, too? The plot is solid and entertaining, but this is not a light read. It took me awhile to process the descriptions and the science. Good book. I'll be looking for the sequel.

Ariane Kedros lives a far different life than she used to. She is now a private pilot for a space exploration company, capable of piloting ships in both real space and N-space. N-space allows people to travel long distances in a very short amount of time. The only requirement is that the place you are traveling to much have an N-space buoy. The buoys are left in systems by generational ships - floating cities that take the time to actually travel in real space to new places. The generational ships are the first visitors to new systems. Ari's job makes her part of the 2nd wave of visitors to new systems. They explore and find which parts of the system are worth peoples time. What they explore, they own. The ship she was on has just found a real jewel of a claim - evidence of an unknown space-faring race (currently there are only humans and the Minoans - the group which gave humans the N-space technology).
However, Ari has a 2nd job - a reservist in the military's intelligence branch. She keeps getting dragged back in to missions as her liaison has a hold on her - her past, hidden from everyone - a supposedly impossible task. And now the military has a doozy of a task. There are others out there that had their past changed, for the same reasons as Ari. Someone has found them and is killing them - starting from the top of the chain of command and drilling down to the bottom - Ari and her shipmates who carried out the space equivalent of dropping the atomic bomb.
Ari finds her jobs inter meshing with each other as she tries to determine who is killing off her past.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book in this series.
