Author M.D. Cooper brings us he next tale in Rika;s adventure. This time Rika is after her former second in command who betrayed her and took a group of her mechs to the capital planet of their old government. Rika follows them and along the way as they're coming out of the dark layer they run into one of the species that lives there. Rika then takes what remains of her ship and sends it at the Nites who are sending asteroids to destroy the planet and the orbiting station. While this is going on Rika leans that the AI Niki is thousands of years old but is just as stubborn as she is. This is a great book in the Rika's Marauders series and I'm looking forward to reading the next and final book. I highly recommend this book to all science fiction fans.
