Product Description

When Sara Donovan joins Project Enterprise she finds out that what doesn't kill her makes her stronger. An Air Force pilot - the best of the best to be assigned to this mission - Sara isn't afraid to travel far beyond the Milky Way on an assignment that takes her into a galaxy torn apart by a long and bitter warfare between the Dusan and the Gadi. After she's shot down and manages to land safely on an inhospitable planet, Sara encounters Kiernan Fyn - a seriously hot alien with a few secrets of his own - he's a member of a resistance group called the Ojemba, lead by the mysterious and ruthless Kalian. Together they must avoid capture, but can they avoid their growing attraction to each other? A mysterious, hidden city on the planet brings Sara closer to the answers she seeks - about her baffling abilities and her mother's past. She has no idea she's being pulled into the same danger her mother fled - the key to a secret left behind by a lost civilization, the Garradians. The Dusan and the Gadi want the key. So do the Ojemba. They think Sara has it. They are willing to do anything to get it. Sara will have to do anything to stop them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dang!, August 29, 2007

By	Sharon K. Garner "Author" (PA, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

That's what Sara Donovan would say. What a ride! Pauline Baird Jones has ventured where she's never ventured before, and I'm one pleased, satisfied reader who tagged along with The Key's characters for the ride of a lifetime. Dang!

A female U.S. Top Gun is part of a mission to another galaxy where three factions are looking for the key to the secrets of a lost civilization. Sara is shot down & rescued by a seriously hot alien pilot, with dreads, who's stranded on the same small planet. The rescuer, Fyn, becomes the rescued when Sara's team picks them up--but they both have secrets, secrets that can destroy the love that grows between them & promises to rescue both of them.

The Key is full of believable characters, and military, flying, and combat lingo. Sara never slips out of character. In fact, she never blinks.

If you happen to be male and read the words 'throw down,' run away. If you read the word 'nice,' read faster. You won't be sorry. Neither will anyone else who reads The Key.

5.0 out of 5 stars Journey of a lifetime!!, August 30, 2007

By	Marilyn Taylor (Cody, WY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

For fans of Pauline B. Jones AND for Sci-Fi lovers, you can't beat this book! Gripping, exciting, wonderful plot! The space battle is a work of art! Also has great humor and characters that are real - not always an easy feat with a Sci-Fi style book. There's romance, but this is not just for chicks - my 17 yr. old son LOVED it!! It crosses genres and you will love this book and remember Sara Donovan long after the last page! Give yourself a treat and read this book!
