Minder's Oath: Book 2 of the High Places Series

Captain Maisie Thurlow just wanted to rescue her big sister, Eve, from the remote world where a star liner’s lifeboat crash landed 20 years earlier. Instead, Maisie and two comrades — the only survivors from her own ship’s crash — became stranded there themselves. Another 18 years have passed, and Maisie has settled into a planet-bound life with her husband (who used to be her XO) and their children. Does it matter anymore if they’re rescued?Yes, it does, because the madness that Eve’s Planet visits on Humans is making a spectacular comeback. It also matters to Ala of the Rinii, an alien scientist obsessed with carrying out the last wish of a Human she inadvertently killed; and to retired “minder” Forrest Cashman, who’s never given up on bringing the lost children from that crashed lifeboat home.Second in the series that began with High Places!
