A very absorbing beginning of a new series from Jean Johnson. I picked this book because I enjoy her other series so much. As stated by others, this is science fiction not romance.
I really liked Ia's story starting as a raw recruit and following through her basic training and into combat, as she tries to avert disaster in the future. She is such an interesting character. If I had any complaint it would be the overly long descriptions of the different military weapons. It didn't seem that relevant to the storyline. But the world building was great and I liked her home world and her family also. Too bad we have to wait so long for the next book because the teaser at the end of this story sounds so good.
