My books are rather cerebral and require the reader to concentrate and be able to think about what they're reading. There are no thrills a minute, no desperate chase scenes or space battles as yet, though there will be a little one in the future, and no immediate gratification.
The heroine Ro has no great dashing adventures, but she ponders deeply about her Universe and its problems and after being let down by Beey, she takes charge of her life and accomplishes things in a way that's never been done before, finding solutions to problems she hadn't yet recognized as such and eventually founding Galen which offers hope and a new start for every race in the Universe.
This book details Ro's beginning. We see her motives and how her original plans were derailed and made into something far better and bigger by her finding Zeke. We also see Ro at death's door while her friends search desperately to locate her.
