The Legend of Banzai Maguire (2176) [Mass Market Paperback]

I truly enjoyed this book, but think many Romance Readers will be puzzled a bit,until they catch the meter. The Hero in the book shows up only sporadically until the last third. If you know that going in, you can sit back and enjoy this rollercoaster ride.

Bree is a pilot on UN Peacekeeping force in the year 2006. Shot down along with her wingman - wingwoman? - Scarlet, they are taken hostage by a rogue scientist. He puts them in suspended animation, making them lab rats, with the parting words, he would release them at the end of a week. Instead, Bree wakes up in 2176 and the whole world has changed.

Grant's background serves her well in this story, giving Bree a solid foundation. I have read the second in the series by Kathleen Nance, Day of Fire. It you loved Grants book, you will adore Nance's! They are fresh, engaging. Kudos to the writers and publisher for this series.

Bree (Banzai) Maguire is a fighter pilot in 2006. She is patroling the no-man's land between North and South Korea. She and her wingman, Cam (Scarlett) Tucker, are both shot down, captured, and placed in cryo-freeze.

Now 170 years later, she is awakened by a UCE (United Colonies of Earth) SEAL. Tyler Armstrong hunts for treasure when he is not busy serving his country.

Prince Kyber is the ruler of Asia. Bree was found by Ty but Kyber's men caught them before she was fully revived.

Who to trust? Nothing is as it was when she went to sleep. Both men want her, both hate each other, and neither knows how to bring peace to the world.

Bree wants to find Cam. That is her priority. She must choose. Following her instincts, she chooses Ty.

Ty and Bree escape Kyber with the help of the Shadow runners. Who they are, we don't know yet.

When they are attacked by a SEAL that Ty knows, they make a decision to fight for freedom and to find the shadow voice.

This is an exciting, futuristic, adventure. I loved this book. Susan Grant has yet to write a bad book. I look forward to the next one in the series Day of Fire, by Kathleen Nance. NO 3, The Shadow Runners, by Liz Maverick. No 4, The Power of Two, by Patti O'Shea. No 5, The Scarlett Empress, by Susan Grant.
