Publisher's Summary

Retrieval Artists help the lost find their way back home, whether they like it or not. Specialized private detectives, they investigate the most unusual crimes in the galaxy. But Miles Flint isn't a Retrieval Artist. He's just a cop, trying to do his job.

In a stolen space yacht, three people have been found eviscerated, the grisly signature of an alien vengeance killing. Moments later, the border patrol halts another ship launched out of the moon's orbit. Its passengers are two human children, kidnapped by the most ruthless aliens in the universe. Both ships are linked to a woman on the run: a Disappeared relocated to the inhospitable landscape of Mars. A reluctant outlaw with a bounty on her head and a detective on her case, she's about to teach all of them a lesson: it's dangerous to gamble with your life in a universe that rigs the game.

absolutely fantastic

I will never get tired of this book, or this series. The detailed descriptions of each alien race paints a vivid mental picture! Jay Snyder was the absolute best choice for this narration. His sultry voice adds to the already enchanting imagery Rusch provides. The fact that he does different character voices makes me so happy, it seems to have become a lost art these days.
So, a sincere and heartfelt THANK YOU to Krisitne Kathryn Rusch for her spellbinding incredible "Retrieval Artist" series, and also to Jay Snyder for being the best narrator I have had the pleasure to hear.
