About this listen
When everyone else dies trying…they call her.
For four centuries, the Order of the King’s Cross has worked in the shadows to protect Promethean society. Known only to the King and his closest advisors, the agents of the Order carry out their monarch’s will throughout the Federated Planets and their neighboring star nations, cleaning up messes, investigating heinous crimes, and most often, eliminating threats.
Heather Kilgore is one of the deadliest agents the Order has ever trained. Young, focused, and coldly efficient, the King sends her in when all else has failed. But when a man she once called her love, a traitor to his star nation, turns up dead under mysterious circumstances, Kilgore may have finally met the mission she can’t complete.
Partnered with an old mentor turned rival and operating behind enemy lines, Heather Kilgore must discover who and what killed Commander Connor Monroe before everyone else around her turns up dead. What she’ll find is a shocking truth, a dastardly betrayal, and a trail of bodies leading to a secret that will threaten the very existence of her star nation.
Spy thriller meets science fiction action adventure and space opera in this exciting new complementary series in the universe of The Worst Ship in the Fleet and Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes. You won’t be able to put this book down as you work with Heather Kilgore to try to discover what killed the only man she’s ever loved, and what she’ll need to do to save her kingdom from ruin.

Excellent story & narration!
This was my first experience with an audiobook and it didn’t disappoint! I’m already a huge fan of Skyler Ramirez’s Dumb Luck & Dead Heroes books so I already knew the story would be excellent and this edition didn’t disappoint! Can’t wait to listen to the sequels!

A Decent Story
There were things I liked about the story, but in the end I didn't feel amazed. I leave the 5-star reviews for those kinds of books.
There were some intricate plot details that I enjoyed about the story, but in the end I don't feel like there was enough emotion involved. It felt more like a head-game kind of book. I understand that these are agents, but at some point one of these agents defected (let their emotions dictate their behaviour). I felt that could have been felt a bit more by the reader somehow. As it is, I just don't recall anything, so it must not have been that impactful (to me at least).
The use of Kilgore, Tabitha, Heather, Lowry confused me enough in the end that I didn't really know or care that much who won in the end. A fight between two skilled women agents with a random name thrown in means that one will win. Hopefully its the good one. At one point there was a lot of emphasis on "the redhead," but even that isn't used to actually help the reader out.
At the end, with the x-lover being still alive, it was anti-climactic since the agent didn't think it was very exciting to see him alive. It seems to me that the writer thought it clever, but it just made it less impactful to me. For as much as these women were scarred and basing decisions on their emotions, I finished the book feeling like there wasn't anything memorable about the book.
