Teo’s Durumi

Teo Anand narrowly survived a crash-landing while fleeing from Corvus, a terrorist who wants vengeance against the Anand family. Now Corvus has bigger plans, and Teo—framed for his own family’s murder—needs to stop him. Luckily, he has help: his best friend Ocean, a disgraced pilot from the Korean spacefaring Alliance; and Phoenix, a legendary raider who has his own history with both Corvus and the Anands. Unluckily, Corvus’s most vicious killer is hot on their trail. Cho’s sequel to Ocean’s Godori delivers more high-energy escapades and an action-packed finale. A string of car chases, hostage rescues, and political negotiations still leaves time for romance; Teo and Phoenix wrestle with pursuing their goals versus their mutual attraction, while pacifist medic Haven is drawn to Ocean even as he’s disturbed by her violent past. The book’s villains and heroes are all looking for human connection in different, sometimes destructive ways, but Ocean’s and Phoenix’s crews must fight to bridge the emotional gaps between them to survive.
