by Mary Brock Jones

Overview

The war is over, but can they win the peace?
Read the thrilling conclusion to the romantic Hathe trilogy.

War or Peace. It doesn't matter. There is always an enemy, and Jacquel des Trurains of the planet Hathe knows all about enemies. He’s just spent years as an undercover spy battling the Terran invaders of his home world. Now the war is over and the Terrans routed, but Hathe has been left divided and hurting. Some one has to fix it, and who better than a decorated leader of the Resistance. Jacquel is sent back into battle, but this time he fights to restore his home.

It won’t be easy, even for the man dubbed the most charming hero of the Resistance. Years of oppression have left their mark on every dirtsider who stayed behind. And what of the Hathians who fled to the moon? The greed of a few for the sparkling jewel of the colonial worlds threatens to destroy everything when they return.

So, Jacquel’s bosses decide he needs some help.

A gifted diplomat, Rheia asn Postrova spent the war off-world, embroiled in twisted games to protect the secrets of Hathe. Talk, promise, beg; whatever it took to stop the other worlds betraying Hathe’s schemes to the Terrans. She's more than paid her dues to her home world. Yet just when it seems she is free to seek what peace she can, she is sent to the last place she ever wanted to visit and ordered to help a stubborn man build bridges instead of walls.

Together, they must find a way to heal their home.

But Jacquel has lost too many already. Can he risk losing—or loving—one more?
And Rheia has secrets of her own.

About the Author

Mary Brock Jones lives in Auckland, New Zealand, but loves nothing more than to escape into the other worlds in her head, to write science fiction and historical romances. Sedate office worker by day; frantic scribbler by night. Her parents introduced her to libraries and gave her a farm to play on, where trees became rocket ships and rocky outcrops were ancient fortresses. She grew up writing, filling pages of notebooks and filling her head with stories, but took a number of detours on the pathway to her dream job. After four grown sons, more than one house renovated, grandchildren, and now a new farm to play on in the weekends, her wish came true. Her books have made the finals list for the Romance Writers of Australia RUBY awards, the RWNZ KORU awards, and the RWNZ Clendon awards.

Editorial Reviews

"Aftermath can be compared to a spy/post-war novel set off-world. There's some mention of advanced technology but the story moves along based on the strength and interaction of the two main characters, Jacquel and Rheia. I had trouble putting down and finished it within a week...." Amazon reviewer
