Here's what the reviewer had to say:<img class="gl_photo" border="0" alt="Add Image" src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><em>Humor is definitely on tap in the second book of Allred's fun and fiesty Alien Affairs series. Allred's genetically created heroine is a most reluctant operative, one who is more comfortable thowing a diplomatic party than kicking butt. This wonderful book is chock-full of danger, excitement and the heroine's first person offbeat sense of humor. A real gem of a book!</em><br /><br /><br />From the back cover:<br /><br /><br /><br /><strong>GEPs just want to have fun...</strong><br /><em></em><br /><em>A Genetically Engineered Person and self-proclaimed "party girl," Echo Adams loves her diplomatic job entertaining alien bigwigs for the Galactic Federation. But the Bureau of Alien Affairs has discovered she's much more than she thinks--that a rogue scientist endowed her with skills and psi abilities dwarfing those of common GEPs. And suddenly Echo's luxury life is over, replaced with a far more dangerous one: a special agent expected to not only chase bad guys but eliminate them.</em><br /><br /><em>Echo hates being stuck on Madrea--a planet of techonphobes off limits to Federation visitors--hunting for a stolen quartz crystal with a powerful alien life form embedded inside. She despises the Bureau's restrictive rules--especially the one warning her away from the dangerously seductive commander of the king's army. And if she doesn't learn how to use her alleged super-psi powers soon, her partying days--in fact, all of her days--will be over for good.</em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5691343725772264282-295628246233871430?l=katherineallred.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Katherine Allredhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01186127604660502117noreply@blogger.com0
