Starheart

Ptorix Empire Book 3

(Starheart is set in the same universe as the Iron Admiral but the events occur a little before the Iron Admiral books)



Freighter captain Jess Sondijk thinks she has her life under control until Confederacy Admiral Hudson orders her ship boarded and has her hauled in for interrogation. The questions she’s buried for years claw their way back. Was her husband’s death really an accident?

Hudson is hunting bigger prey. Someone is trading with the alien Ptorix and offering a prize so great they’re willing to part with their sacred starhearts, the jewels they call the windows of the soul.

When friends and family are abducted and bodies start to fall, Jess’ personal search for the truth meshes with Hudson’s determination to stop crimes so appalling he’s prepared to risk his own career to end them.

Together they’re dragged into a fight neither of them asked for. How much are they willing to lose to make things right?

Space Opera/ Science Fiction Romance. Features non-humanoid aliens and some non-specific sex scenes. There’s action adventure and politics.

“Thank you Greta!! The world you created had me fascinated and so impressed at all the details which made it so believable.”

“What really gives this story (and others in the Ptorix Empire series) some solid depth is the well developed background. The politics, the economics and the cultural tensions between the various human and alien groups have been properly thought through, as has the resulting effects on the individual characters. It all makes for a very satisfying story which I completely enjoyed.“
