Book Description

April 2004
When billionaire financier Harrison Fairfax boards the EarthFed starship Starchild, Captain Trieka Cavendish knows he'll bring trouble. Earthlubbers always do. But she has no idea trouble will come in the form of a vast government conspiracy that will turn her whole world upside down.

Harrison Fairfax has spent the past seven years trying to find out what happened to his wife, an investigative journalist. But his wife's disappearance is only the beginning - and the rest is much, much worse - as he discovers a conspiracy reaching to the highest echelons of EarthFed.

On to his meddling, government strongmen drive Fairfax and Cavendish into the wilds of the colony planet Denahault, where they discover even more secrets - and a passion for each other that may be the only thing that can save them.


Editorial Reviews

"4 Hearts!...This book is well written from its complex beginning to its surprising end." -- Angie, The Romance Studio

"The enthralling plot runs on hyper-speed...Knights is a creative force who has quite a future as a storyteller." -- Harriet Klausner, Affaire de Coeur

About the Author

Katriena Knights wrote her first poem, "Ode to a Pancake", at the age of three, and has since become the award-winning author of several paranormal and contemporary romances.

Katriena grew up in a podunkish town in the middle of a cornfield in East Central Illinois, and now lives in a podunkish town in the middle of the Colorado mountains with her husband, two children, two Siberian huskies, a ferret and several very stupid aquarium fish. In her "spare" time she likes to read, watch TV, catch up on movies and play guitar.

This review is from: Starchild (Paperback)
Is this booka romance novel or a sci-fi page turner, the author can't seem to make up her mind. While it is a very readable book, I found the changes to be somewhat jarring.
I would advise forgetting the romance part and treat it as a straightforward adventure novel. The two main protagonists were the only humans written deeply but the aliens were more interesting. I hope that any future books in this series will treat the humans kinder. All-in-all a good book for all it's faults.
