She's offered a job where she can use her psionic gifts to help people. Stranded on earth over a hundred years ago,
Liam of Shria is searching for a metal needed to repair his ship when he finds Dina, a telepathic investigator, and narrowly saves her from an exploding alien pod. Together, they uncover a plot to rebuild an ancient weapon and discover the truth behind Dina's abilities while unlocking dangerous secrets about the alien presence on earth.

First line: The taxicab pulled up to the curb, squeaky breaks announcing its presence.
Last line read: He had to get out.
Overall Impressions: I love stories about psionics, so Nixon's novel grabbed my attention. Dina is a kick-butt heroine, and Liam is very mysterious. The abilities they have such as telepathy and the like are fascinating. The sample was well-paced and left me wanting more.
Would I keep reading?: Yes!
