Book Two of the Hathor Legacy Series. On the planet,
Hathor, an old threat re-emerges that may destroy the fragile alliance between
the Guardians and Novacorp. When Nadira is called to investigate a rash of
fires throughout the city, she discovers the Deshtu, another group with PSI
powers who have been purposely kept in the shadows. Working to uncover the
source of the fires, Nadira learns the brutal truth about the origin of the
Guardians. The Guardian Elders have plans to make Nadira more powerful, and she
may be forced to sever her psychic connection to Jonathan Keel. When an
unexpected ally gives Jonathan information about the Deshtu that connects them
to the fires, he becomes a convenient scapegoat for the opposing factions.
Nadira puts her life on the line to solve the crime, while the Elders make
their move to remove Jonathan from her life forever. As time runs out, the
Guardians prepare for a clash with Novacorp that could plunge the planet into
chaos, and a final betrayal forces Nadira to risk everything to save herself
and Hathor.

“Wonderful Story Telling,
with Great Plot and Characters.”
Someone is setting
fires to Service Houses, killing the occupants. Sentry Guardian Nadira is
called to help security investigate. She learns that the deaths involve Deshtu,
people with some “special” PSI ability close to that of Guardians. A lone
survivor tells her that they were brought from up North by Guardians to service
clients. Once they arrive the Deshtus are raped or beaten and kept in line on
threat of death. Could it be true? Is there a rogue group within the Guardians
failing to follow the rules set by Novacorp? Or is the leadership of the
Guardians itself pulling the strings? If so, this could be the beginning of a
war between Guardians and Novacorp. To make matters worse, Dakar, the head Elder
of the Guardians orders Nadira to break connection with Jonathan, which she
refuses to do. Now she and Jonathan may also be in danger if she can’t uncover
the mystery and bring the killers to justice.
This is the second
novel in the Hathor Legacy series, and we learn a lot of unanswered questions
about Novacorp and the Guardians, and how the power structure came about. There
are two powerful entities, Novacorp with military and security power, and
Guardians with special PSI powers. Together they form a strong team, but if
they go to war, Hathor could be destroyed. The action never slows down, and the
characters drive the plot towards the conclusion. This is science fiction at
it’s best, with a small taste of romance to sweeten the tale. Readers will fall
in love with the characters, and will not want the story to end. Highly
recommended.
