Book: Greenshift (A Tale from the Ambasadora-verse)

Books

Greenshift is here!

This is a new novel set in the Ambasadora-verse. It's the first of many stand alone stories which don't necessarily follow the main arc of the epic Ambasadora series. Greenshift takes place one month before Ambasadora begins.

DESCRIPTION: David Anlow, a fleet captain forced into early retirement and jaded by an ex-lover, now spends his lonely days shuttling around a group of scientists for hire.

Boston Maribu, Mari to her friends, is one of his passengers, a young botanist who is as beautiful as she is naïve and innocent.

When Mari asks David to teach her about more than just piloting the Bard, nights on their ship heat up and their feelings for each other mature into a relationship neither expects. But a suspicious new client shows up with wicked plans for Mari, and the soldier inside David comes alive, ready to fight for the young woman who stole his heart.
