This novel is as much about a young graduate of the Terran Alliance's Military Academy learning the ropes as a young pilot in the Scouts as it is about her finding love and leadership and then suddenly losing it all. Then with the help of both her mentor the beautiful Captain Cansina and her best friend fellow Pilot the equally beautiful alien Treanka from the planet Soletia, she is able to recover from her losses and find love again. In turn she is able to help Treanka recover from her losses as well.
Through it all Cansina helps Ariana in both her career as a Pilot in the military organization of the Terran Scouts as well as dealing with the disasters in the early part that took the lives of both her lover and first Captain. Especially cathartic was their visit back to the scene of the Shreveport disaster at the now named Red River Colony. This name was chosen as a nod to the namesake of the lost colony ship. The return to escort duty and then to successfully rescue her friend Treanka whose ship had gone missing helped both of them grow and realize that not every difficulty ends in disaster. We also saw that Ariana and Treanka meet up with their old friend Emily from the Marines who also suffered a loss but was able to somehow deal with it in her own way. As Ariana and Captain Cansina drift apart because of their heavy load of duties on the Destroyer Merrifield, they each find a new partner to fill the void. As with all my stories I try and weave a believable science fiction adventure in with titillating scenes. Ariana and Cansina are both humans from Earth. Treanka is a beautiful humanoid alien from the planet Soletia. Throughout the novel I make use of the experiences in the Holocenter and the Pleasure Centers are designed to be fun diversions for the characters on their long and dangerous missions.
