About the Book
You might think that an obstetrician on a planet forbidden to women would be underemployed...
Not so; Dr. Ethan Urquhart, Chief of Biology at the Severin District
Reproduction Center, is one of the busiest men on the planet Athos.
That is, until a mysterious genetic crisis threatens Athos with
extinction.
Drafted to brave the wider universe for his cloistered
fellows in quest of new ovarian tissue cultures, Ethan braces himself
for his first encourter with those most alien of aliens... females of
his own species. But braced or not, his wildest imaginings could never
have stiffened him sufficiently for alliance with Dendarii Mercenary
Commander Elli Quinn, an utterly gorgeous mercenary intelligence
officer who has her own secret interest in Athos's problems... and Ethan
as well.
