About this title: Festina Ramos is an officer of an elite group whose vocation is to land on hostile planets and make contacts with alien cultures. When Festina and her partner are ordered to escort an aging admiral on an "exploratory mission" to the surface of a planet from which no one has ever returned, she realizes this is meant to be her last assignment ever. But it won't be, if Festina can help it.

"Found this one on the read pile. I couldn't remember if I read it or not. So, I started reading it again. Turns out, I did read it, but i finished it again. Interesting universe built by Gardner. I wouldn't mind seeing more stories about Festiva and the Explorers."
"This is the book that made James Alan Gardner my favorite author. Rich characters, a fun universe, and engaging writing all combined for the perfect level of Shawn Happiness.
It's total popcorn . . . but it's ORGANIC popcorn, so you think you're doing your body good!"
"I only skimmed the last 1/3 of this book. Although the premise appeared promising at first, this book appears to have been written by a 13-year old boy. Copious, gratuitous use of the F-word and what must be the world record for the number of occurrences of the word "sperm" in a work of fiction. (and for no good purpose whatsover) Don't bother."
