It was supposed to be the beginning of a new life-not a replay of her old one . . . For eight years, Kris was the property of a brutal slaver captain. Now she's free and a brand-new cadet at the Nereidian League's military academy. All she brings to this new life is a unique set of skills, a profound ignorance of 'civilized' society, and a large chip on her shoulder. But Kris isn't quite sure what to make of the Academy, and the Academy isn't at all sure what to make of her. The medical staff thinks she's homicidal, her fellow cadets think she's crazy, and her instructors don't know what to think. So when she's approached about helping capture a terrorist warlord, she's more than happy to leave the halls of academia behind for awhile. Kris knows she's not signing up for a pleasure cruise. What she doesn't know is that the key to the mission's success is reliving her very worst nightmare . . . Praise for the Loralynn Kennakris series: "This is one of the best Sci-Fi series I've ever read (and I've read a few). But what I really love is the feel of authenticity to the military activities in the books. I'm a retired Army officer with over 20 years of service, six of which were spent with 160th SOG (Nightstalkers). Having done my time in the Spec Ops world I know how it looks and feels, and this series captures the feel. Thanks for bringing to life a world worth reading about." Reader Scott W. "The Morning Which Breaks" includes an extensive glossary that defines terms, describes technology and organizations, and provides additional background material for the Loralynn Kennakris series. Comprised of over 300 entries, the glossary is fully indexed to give you easy access to the information you want. An indexed biographical list of characters is incorporated as well. (Note: Due to the size of this glossary, the length of the story itself by is 533 pages.)
