I can’t believe nobody’s reviewed this series from Patty Jansen yet. This first in the series title sets up an amazing universe, rich in intrigue and politics.

The main character – Cory Wilson – escapes Earth only to find that the fire he’s hopped into might be a tad more dangerous than the frying pan he was in. Newly minted ambassador to an interstellar entity, he must find his way through the physical, emotional, and political dangers to save Earth. His struggles take him deep into the alien psyche as he tries to reconcile what he knows with what he finds out.

I’ve enjoyed all the books in this series. Cory is satisfactorily clever and only occasionally does dumb things. What I liked most was that the dumb things – while serving the plot – weren’t dumb because the plot needed it. Jansen does a great job in keeping Cory grounded, believable, and just likable enough to keep the pages turning. But, as always, never take my word for it. Grab a sample and see for yourself.
