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.

Ummm... I think it's an end. It's an end for me anyway.
Plot: Lame excuse to make her a whore. Really, I don't know what else to draw from this.
Characters: Yea, Merv *almost* had depth. They draw characters from the other book back. Doesn't really explain much or add depth to them. Doyl randomly sells himself as a sex slave to maybe get another pimp? WTF?
Style: Tries too hard to be cyberpunk. Invents her own slang and the like. Confusing to follow along.
