Read an Excerpt

Friends in High Places is the first book in a series based on a short story called “Games With Chance” published in the October 2008 issue of Khimairal Ink and included in this volume.

Outlaw Torri Rendego and her crew pilot the Far Seek to the mining colony of Newburg on Old Earth to smuggle out rare black opals, in fulfillment of their latest contract.

So far everything goes as planned until Torri learns that Kai Tinsdale, her Academy bunk mate and now a Captain for the hated Coalition, is there to break up the dangerous but profitable smuggling rings. Will Torri and Kai survive another test of their fragile bond as they battle nefarious forces to complete their conflicting missions?
