Summary: From Athlete to Warrior
Review: This story takes place in the Stardoc universe. Jory Rask is a shockball player and a very good one. One reason is that she is half alien; a fact that comes out after her mother's death and results in deportation.Jory knows some of her Jorenian heritage and has promised her mother that she will seek out others like herself and let them know the truth. The truth is that her mother and a number of other Jorenian women were captured, enslaved, and bore children of their slavers. Truth can be a painful thing and Jory and the others wind up entering training to become warriors and assassins. But like in many schools, cliques form and rivalries form. But at a school of combat rivalry can be deadly. The plot moves well and at one point you may wonder what the author is up to. Many surprises lurk beneath the surface but the planned shocking revelation is obvious for a hundred pages prior. Still, a good tale set in a rich universe (although medicine seems to be way behind the times).

Summary: Tangents and Authors
Review: This was a really great book for the readers of Viehl's StarDoc series. The characters were truly engaging and their interaction with each other made them even more real. Unfortunately this book was not made for those who haven't read the StarDoc series. The author has concepts like the Hsktskt and Jorenian's 'shielding' others and not explaining who or what they are. Other than that, this was a really kewl book and I'm hoping to see more of the Seven Sibs in the next StarDoc book!
