About this listen

Anna nearly dies, along with all her family, at age four from the deadly Cacao virus. But she survives, thanks to a poisonous red-headed krait. The medical community is excited since there is no known cure for the virus, but Anna and her snake, Red, have a symbiotic relationship - containment, not cure. If she is ever separated from Red, she will die.

Anna struggles through foster homes. As her krait becomes known and valuable throughout the three star empires as one of only a handful of such snakes, she fights off attempts to kill her and snatch Red. She even comes to wonder if her brilliance in school and eventually at deciphering code is somehow connected to her constant companion.

When the Naval Intelligence Agency, the NIA, recruits her, her adventures grow beyond fending off thieves and killers to tracking down interstellar smugglers as part of an elite team, but the smuggling cartel are quick to fight back. In the midst of space battles and well-placed assassins, Anna is convinced that Red's presence may make the difference in survival or death, not just for her but her entire NIA team.

a different kind of Military Scifi

not your typical scifi with a female heroine. the reluctant hero and her snake take on the bad guys.

Nice story, clean

Was impressed with writer’s story using no foul language. An ability to bring across emotion with no vulgar language is nice to read. So clean reading for younger adults. Loved the well thought out story, and will read or listen to more by this writer. Thank you

I consider this a hidden gem

Got this book as part of one book and found my self spending the entire day listening to it. Narration was excellent and the story well crafted.

Why do I like it

This was a nice story. I usually go for more action based. But the tale rolled along nicely.

Narrator sounds like a valley girl

Interesting story premise, but I will read the rest in the series unless a different narrator is used.

Enjoyable book.

I enjoyed the story and I like the main character. She is interesting and likeable. The strange quirk that the character has (a symbiotic relationship with a snake that keeps her from dying from a terrible disease) is a bit strange and doesn't really add very much to the story, but it is a good story nonetheless.

The one issue I had with the book is that the main character joins a team of supposed professionals as the 18 year-old newbie. I understand that she is the prodigy and 'special' but I was struck by the fact that none of her teammates appear to have any skills that she lacks. They basically just follow along in her wake while she solves the case and then they share the credit for her accomplishments. This is supposed to be a highly trained and successful group even before the addition of the main character so it would be nice if somebody else on the team occasionally came up with an idea or uncovered a lead.

Good story

I wanted a few more things explained, but then I realized that the storyteller is supposed to be a young communications officer, not an old computer geek with pretensions of strategy.

Very well told from that perspective, it just didn't answer all of my questions.

Love the characters and story

This story has a good storyline that gets you to know the main character well and emulate with her and then celebrate when she has victories!
