"Sirantha's expertise as a jumper doesn't prepare her for diplomacy"

Sirantha Jax has a unique genetic trait which allows her to navigate ships through grimspace. She worked as a jumper for a corporation for years before finding out about the corruption running rife throughout the corporation. She finds herself having to fight them to save her sanity and being offered as a scapegoat for the death of thousands during a crash.

When the corporation is defeated, Jax is asked to be an ambassador to a planet which has stayed out of the conflict. However, the collapse of the corporation has lead to the need to make alliances which would never have been considered in the past.

When she finds out that the Syndicate opposes the alliance and threatens her mother, Jax will have to decide whether family loyalty comes before the needs of her world.

WANDERLUST is a fast-paced, exciting story peopled with unusual characters. Aguirre has done a great job of world-building. The only drawback, WANDERLUST is the sequel to GRIMSPACE and starts the action where the first book left off. That made it a little hard to pick up all the threads of story and make sense of them at the beginning. Once I was able to sort out past events, the book drew me in until it was hard to let go. Aguirre has created a series you need to search out and read. You won't be sorry.

Book Summary

Broke and unemployed, “Jumper” Sirantha Jax accepts a diplomatic mission for the government— only to find herself up against Syndicate criminals, man-eating aliens, and her own grimspaceweakened body.
