"Quite and adventure tale, a love story, and a damned good ecological drama!"

The jungles of the planet Ver Day were unforgiving to natives--and death for offworlders. Sled-hauler Sal banks didn't like to have to depend on anyone or anything, but she needed extra muscle to pull a sled on her next cargo run, so she hired Meesha Raschad first and found out he wa...more

Ver Day is a jungle planet, crawling with bugs and bities, dripping with mud, sap, and poison. Original settlement there was so difficult only a small minority survived, adapting to living on the planet.

Ver Day is going through a time of transition - population has increased in the few cities, and off-world immigration is on the rise. A push is being made to change the long-standing laws which lim...more

I adore this book and have read it many times. Not only does she create a fantastic enviroment and culture, but it's also an excellent adventure story. Heald packs her story lot of detail that doesn't slow down the momentum of the story, but provides the reader with a wonderful surprises each time they read the book.
I truly love this book. I wish there was something else by this author, that it was available on Kindle and on Audio. My paperback copy is falling apart and I'd better buy a replacement while I can still find it. I reread it once or twice a year.
A very interesting story with a rugged smart female leader, the off world male trying to prove himself, a cast of gruffy characters in a world with other kinds of life living in a with the surrounding jungle.
Amazing imagination and well-written also. Had heard and read this author just 'disappeared' & that this book was a good read. It was a GREAT read!
