The moons of Palmares

About this book

"Idealistic, Earth-born Major Leith Eaglefeather believes he{u2019}s on Palmares to protect its citizens, as well as its quilidon mines, from the shadowy rebels called the Kituhwa. But after a few weeks on the beautiful, unspoiled violet planet, he{u2019}s beginning to realize there{u2019}s another side to the story. The so-called Peacekeeping Forces are behaving more like an occupying army. Are Eaglefeather{u2019}s superiors hiding the truth? And can he really trust Zaria, the lovely but contentious local dancer whom he{u2019}s enlisted as a spy? Zaria Aquene has her own agenda. The new Major{u2019}s infatuation with her is strategically useful--but what if he finds out she{u2019}s a double agent? If she must, will she have the nerve to kill for her planet{u2019}s survival? What if the person she must kill has become her friend?"--Provided by publisher.
