Reunions are bittersweet, and so is regret -- Parrish is back and on the run again in this third installment. This time she's going undercover in Viva City as an Amarata -- that is if she can keep her temper under control. Parrish tours the seamier side of Viva City and learns that the Tert doesn't have the market cornered on slavery or depravity. A rebellion is brewing, and Parrish may not be able to keep the lid on, even if she wants to. Damage and death are striking from all sides, and there is no safe place to be. ( )

Violent escort media revolution attempt.

The final book of this Parrish Pleish series is just as good as the other, and very fast paced.

Parrish, in control of the local situation mostly, decides something has to be done about Viva City. Unfortunately for her, this involves going undercover as a high class call girl, something for which she is somewhat unsuited, you could say.

She has to get technological help, work out what to do about the parasite alien species, and try to bring down what may or may not be an AI that helps the three powerful media barons that run the place control information.

Not an easy task, and some of the usual suspects are to again be found.

Frenetic punctuated by occasional lust is how you could describe the tone.
