With an outstanding Ultimate Sanction bounty still on her head, Koko Martstellar (ex-mercenary and saloon madam extraordinaire) and Jedidiah Flynn (former orbital sky-cop) have narrowly escaped death in paradise.  Rescued during a storm, Koko and Flynn are taken in by what amounts to a self-sufficient outlander cult. To save Flynn’s life, Koko barters her warrior skills and assists the de-civ group in fending off their most imminent threat: a horde of genetic-mutant raiders. However, even with the group’s foes bested and their idealist lifestyle somewhat enticing, being among the outlander de-civs doesn’t sit well with Koko. In spite of  the de-civ group’s hospitality and Flynn’s arguing that they have it pretty good, Koko suspects something is amiss. People within the outlander group’s interlocking compounds keep disappearing with flimsy explanations—people like the girl who died on the cliff before Koko and Flynn’s rescue—and soon the group’s leadership assesses Koko as a threat to their secret agenda. As the mystery unfolds, Koko’s limits and loyalties—perhaps even her love for Flynn—will be tested. 
And as if that isn’t enough, bounty agent Wire has managed to track down Koko and, after a little politicking, is preparing to lead an army of genetic-mutant raiders in a last-man-standing battle against the cult . . .

      Readers still pleasantly reeling from the high energy, cyberpunk adventures of retired corporate mercenary Koko Martstellar and her ex-cop sidekick and boyfriend Jedidiah Flynn in Koko Takes a Holiday will be thrilled to find more of the same in this gleefully violent sequel. Koko and Flynn's brief peaceful return to saloon/brothel ownership turns into an impromptu escape on a commandeered submarine after bounty hunter Jackie Wire reappears. The people in the oddly underdefended complex in the middle of the North American prohib coast can provide medical care for the septic gunshot wound in Flynn's leg, but it quickly becomes clear that remaining there for long may not be in the adventurers' best interest. Echoing the energy of Tank Girl or Mad Max: Fury Road's Furiosa, Koko's brash attitude, quick thinking, and unrelenting self-confidence make her an action hero well worth rooting for. Shea's dystopic 26th-century world is just well enough defined to let her characters play freely, without burdening the reader with too much scientific or cultural realism.

      Introduced in Koko Takes a Holiday, ex-mercenary and saloon madam Koko now has a price on her head and is rescued by an outlander cult. The series is set 500 years in the future, and Earth is only semirecognizable. Shea's well-developed characters and nonstop action will appeal to fans of both sf and thrillers.--MM
