Commander Astra Solara is Earth's current 'Mission Queen', a self-possessed intelligence officer who has taken so many risks and survived so many perilous assignments while exploring the galaxy's most remote sectors, that every time she returns to Earth, she's considered an ever greater security risk.
Captain Hylar Moondarla is Earth's most celebrated starship pilot - she's been everywhere and seen everything, most of it as Commander Solara's best friend and trusted partner - until a terrible secret came between them...
Now on opposite sides of the galaxy, somebody within Earth's powerful corporate ruling elite has tried to assassinate both of these uniquely skilled, fiercely independent explorers of the new cosmic frontier...
Why is Earth command hunting down the crew of Astra Solara's former command, the indestructible Hightail? And how did she become the only Independent star-cruiser to ever return from the most dangerous, most mysterious, and most heavily defended planet in the galaxy?
With ancient enemies lurking, and armed with nothing but a disarming smile (and some talk about a secret master plan to forever vanquish evil from the face of the galaxy) Astra Solara must now battle to uncover the truth and unmask her enemies by accepting one last mission that terrifies even her: to deliver a priceless artefact, the last remnant of an alien race who almost destroyed humanity, to the one place where it can finally be forever annihilated...
To the place that Astra once loved...
...yet was forced to flee.
The planet that frightens her the most, but excites her beyond anything she has ever known...
The name of the planet: AMAZON SEVEN
