Lt. Pat Callen, a fighter pilot with the Space Exploration Joint Service, has a new command: PV-11, a short-term patrol vessel with stealth capabilities. Callen's many experiences in battle will prove to have a life-or-death impact when PV-11 takes on a new and dangerous mission: rescuing a band of terraformers who are stranded on a planet that's under an alien blockade. Callen's first officer, Peggy Varner, is his only crew member on PV-11, but she's a very capable officer who has his back. She resides in the ship-in fact, she is as much a part of the ship as its other programming, because Peggy is the ship's automated XO. But is it possible that Peggy could become much more than that to Callen? When her personality begins to grow, change, and show hints of emotions unknown to automated first officers, Callen finds himself intrigued. Is he falling in love with an artificial intelligence? The situation grows even more complicated when Peggy's intelligence is placed in a body that morphs into the very attractive shape of a human woman-the woman of Pat's dreams. Pat and Peggy have to put their personal business aside for their first assignment. A patrol vessel's mission is to go out and back in thirty days or less on recon and convoy screening missions, scientific research and star system mapping missions, and dangerous missions involving enemy contact. Stealth missions involving enemy aliens get Pat's blood running hot: he loves nothing better than heading straight into a risky situation where the stakes are high. And after he earns a promotion for successfully finding and rescuing a derelict ship with survivors on board, he is sent on the most dangerous mission yet: finding the terraformers who crossed the boundaries set by enemy aliens around a taboo planet. The terraformers haven't been heard from since. They are feared lost, and no one who goes to the planet ever returns. What secrets about this planet are being kept by the enemies of humanity who are blockading entry and exit? Will Pat and Peggy be the first to uncover the dangers of the forbidden planet and return with the terraformers?
