Helpful Score: 2

Without spoilage, the series is about Cherijo Grey Veil, a talented human surgeon fleeing the reach of her powerful father who has plans for her and wants her back with him. In this book, along with Cherijo's usual critical medical emergencies and trying to get along with other staff members who may not like her, there is a much bigger problem - a murderer on the ship who begins to target Cherijo in disturbing ways and this is the focus of most of the plot. Even though this is science fiction, its not hard sci fi. So far in the three books I've read from Viehl I've started to expect a certain constantly good wrap-up to her books. She has a way of making things complicated and then writing herself out of the knots. It's very comforting that even though this is a series, it feels like each book has a relatively satisfying ending.
