With Kitty the shape-shifting space demon out of the way, Dan Simpson steals proof that aliens exist for his bosses at NASA. But Kitty's twin sister tracks him down and, to his fury, exiles him on a far-flung planet.
There, Dan meets Afra and falls swiftly in love - but Afra is an interstellar woman of mystery, disappearing for weeks at a time without telling him her business. Dan stows away on Afra's ship and learns she is a contraceptive smuggler with some dangerous clients: Ranglatiri space pirates.
Male contraception is illegal on Ranglatiri. Now the ruling matriarchy have learned of the illicit trade and have sent their secret police to track down the source . . .
Hanna Abebe has come far since leaving Ethiopia. To the other end of the galaxy, in fact. And although learning to fly alien spacecraft is tough, it's not as tough as maintaining the ultimate long-distance relationship . . .
At last! Captain Joe Llewellyn has permission to initiate first contact via the UN. But if he messes it up, the Galaksi Alliance will cancel the Shantivira's funding, leaving the Earth defenceless. So, no pressure. All goes well until a rogue Samaritan flies a beetle-shaped cargo ship through months of painstaking negotiations . . .
This second book in The Shantivira science fantasy solarpunk series is perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, Ursula Le Guin, Doctor Who and anyone who enjoys supernatural sci-fi.
