Set well into the future where the human race has spread throughout the galaxy, this follows Trigger Argee as she tries to unravel the disappearance of Tate and the various plasmoids that have been found in the past. In doing so she jumps from one dilemma to another and exposes conspiracy, corruption and deceit wherever she turns. Although Trigger is considered to be a strong female character (at at the time this was written I'm sure she was) some of the attitudes within the book are a little dated which can grate as the story continues. However this does not detract too much from the story as a whole which is entertaining and intriguing and keeps the reader interested from start to finish (although the after story events in Trigger's life a little cliche). Overall a pretty good read with inventive and descriptive prose that takes the reader to other world
