Bio Rescue Series

In her groundbreaking science fiction novels—Bio Rescue, Blade Dancer, and the bestselling Stardoc series—S. L. Viehl has proven time and again that she deserves her reputation as “a terrific world builder” (Midwest Book Review). She continues the story of the Allied League of Worlds and its elite Bio Rescue unit of military trained SEAL (surgically enhanced/altered lifeform) pilots.
 
The Hsktskt slavers have been driven out of the Pmoc quadrant. K-2, the home planet of the underwater dwelling ‘Zangians, has been selected to host the resulting peace summit. When an ambassador’s shuttle is attacked en route to the conference, Bio Rescue pilot Sub-Lieutenant Burn mu Znora manages to intercept the vessel and prevent the abduction of the ambassador’s daughter Liana.
 
Now, with the Bio Rescue unit officially assigned to police the peace negotiations, Burn must stay close to Liana—an assignment he’s happy to accept. But as it becomes clear someone is determined to sabotage the conference, Burn realizes Liana is hiding a deadly secret—a secret that may alter the fate of four worlds…
 

S.L. Viehl’s novels have featured some of the most memorable heroines in the history of the genre: the “wonderful” Cherijo Torin of Stardoc and the “spunky yet vulnerable” Jory Rask of Blade Dancer. Now joining their ranks is the compassionate and heroic interstellar paramedic Dair mu T’resa.
 
Lieutenant Dair mu T’resa heads up a squadron of SEAL (surgically enhanced/altered lifeform) pilots. They provide planetary patrol for the Pmoc Quadrant, including Dair’s home planet Kevarzangia Two—a world populated by the underwater dwelling ’Zangians. Saved at birth by a radical surgical procedure that introduced human DNA into her body, Dair has been able to survive for brief periods of time outside her aquatic habitat—opening her mind to the wonders of the universe’s other races and cultures, yet closing her off from her own people.
 
She finds a true home when her SEAL squadron teams up with medical personnel as a Bio Rescue unit, formed to respond to off-planet emergencies. But the altruism Dair embraces finds opposition among her fellow ’Zangians—and the Skartesh, a lupine alien species who fled their own dying world to settle in the dry land colony of Kevarzangia Two…
