Description
Situated in a galaxy with two suns, the planet Gambling Nova is home to the Dome, a vast penitentiary for undesirable citizens and criminals. Farren Megan has been imprisoned on this desert-like planet for having uncovered a plot against the Federation of Populated Worlds led by none other than the head of the Federation’s secret service, the Spylord. When Farren disappears, his lover, Jack, is wrongly accused of murder. Jack must set the record straight and then journey to Gambling Nova to set Farren free with the help of his friend Theo. A complex and passionate relationship unfolds between the three characters as they pursue their quest for freedom.

This gripping novel is remarkable for its striking blend of sophisticated sci-fi and in-depth human emotion. In the future as Jennie Dorny sees it, human relationships override technology… but life is no less brutal because of it.
