Short description

Nyx is a Blacklight assassin, ordered to the tropical world of Malache to kill a courier. Given a minimal briefing, she kills the wrong person. Back to make amends, she finds herself in the middle of a war where both sides want her dead. Her only allies are the lemuroid, pacifist, sexually-tilted natives. To win, Nyx has to recover her lost femininity, and make the coldest sacrifice of all.

Extended description

Meet Nyx. She's alone on a remote world in the midst of an internecine struggle for resources. She's been ordered to kill someone who has not been identified.

Sex is a weapon. Loyalty is a blunt instrument. And there is no place whatsoever for sentiment in her work.
Until now.

Review by: Gary Kirby on Sep. 30, 2011 :
Read this a while ago now, but as I am about to bye the next nyx installment I guess that speaks for itself.

Had a bit of a slow beginning, requiring the reader to really 'invest' time in getting into the universe. However, once I was engaged it was an entertaining and smooth ride to its conclusion. And yes definitly not for kids with some pretty sexual content. (Not complaining ;) )
