Sell over a million dollars of programmable hover vacs in a month, get a hefty commission check, and win an all-expenses paid trip to Ubaid Space Station.
That’s the promise, and I deliver on my end of the bargain. What I get for my trouble is a “supervised” guided tour of the station, surrounded by other humans.
I came for the extraterrestrial experience, not the poorly cooked chicken parmesan in the Earth-centric resort restaurant. So, who can blame me if I slip my leash by bribing the tour guide to let me escape yet another mind-numbingly boring museum trip?
After an encounter with a gray alien lands me a hot tip on the best place to find excitement on this station, I end up in a bar in the most dangerous sector of the Leisure Ring. I also meet the extraterrestrial of my dreams—at least, he can be for the remainder of my vacation.
Yes, he’s an Okihan, known as a “fox-man” to us humans, and yes, he looks very roguish, even with that super fluffy tail of his, but he reassures me that he’s not a pirate. He works for the Cosmic Syndicate, all official-like.
He’s charming, rakish, and probably more than a little disreputable, and I might be playing in a much larger sandbox than I’m accustomed to, but I just can’t resist giving in to his flirtation.
I came to Ubaid Space Station searching for adventure, and Suda Eran promises to take me on one, but I probably shouldn’t trust him, because the more time I spend with him, the more I realize that he’s already stealing my heart.

My friend recommended this book to me to fill in another challenge prompt. She is working her way through Susan Trombley's back catalogue, and after reading this book I TOTALLY understand why. This is such a fun romp through the space station!
I know that this is the second book in a spin off series, so I was a little intimidated to just jump in here. However, I do think I got enough background in this book to not feel overwhelmed or like I was totally lost.
Davi Jones is a master of puns. Suda Eran is a foxy pirate. Davi wins a trip to space, goes in search of adventure, and finds a little more than she bargained for. Davi and Suda are so cute together, but my favorite parts of this book was everything else going on. There was SO MUCH else going on! We get little glimpses of a bunch of different types of aliens, upstanding and criminal aspects of the space station, responsive vibrating body jewelry, etc. I can't wait to meet an Akrellian in the next book though!!!
I absolutely foresee myself stalking through the back catalogue at some point. I already know I want to read Kotesri's book to see what he's all about! And there are four side characters that we met in this book that I would ABSOLUTELY read their books. Ultiman, anyone???
