Lethal Engagement

Unbounded #4.5

by Teyla Branton

Guard, Protect, and Above All, Stay Alive Two months after the announcement that rocked the entire world, Mari Jorgenson is going undercover to protect the man who has become the face of the Unbounded. What's not to like? Expensive clothes, a great disguise, a chance to play with knives-and all with a Renegade partner she might just be falling for.
Mari can't think of a better assignment for practicing her shifting ability. But when everything goes horribly wrong on the first day, it will take everything she has-and more-if she and her friends are to keep humanity's best hope for peace alive long enough to unite the world. Along the way, Mari glimpses within herself a darkness that threatens to turn her into the very evil she is fighting.
Join Mari, Keene, Jace, Cort, and other Renegades from the main Unbounded series as Mari shifts through an adventure that will ultimately set the stage for the greatest and final battle with the Emporium.
Please note that Lethal Engagement is not as long as the books from Erin's viewpoint, but it is the same size as many short novels. The events take place in the Unbounded timeline after The Reckoning (Unbounded Book 4). As some of the events in book 4 are referenced, readers will better appreciate Lethal Engagement after reading The Reckoning.

About the author

Teyla Rachel Branton grew up avidly reading science fiction and fantasy and watching Star Trek reruns with her large family. They lived on a little farm where she loved to visit the solitary cow and collect (and juggle) the eggs, usually making it back to the house with most of them intact. On that same farm she once owned thirty-three gerbils and eighteen cats, not a good mix, as it turns out. Teyla always had her nose in a book and daydreamed about someday creating her own worlds. She is now married, mostly grown up, and has seven kids, so life at her house can be very interesting (and loud), but writing keeps her sane. She thrives on the energy and daily amusement offered by her children, the semi-ordered chaos giving her a constant source of writing material. Grabbing any snatch of free time from her hectic life, Teyla writes novels full of mystery, romance, and imagination. She warns her children that if they don’t behave, they just might find themselves in her next book! She’s been known to wear pajamas all day when working on a deadline, and is often distracted enough to burn dinner. (Okay, pretty much 90% of the time.) A sign on her office door reads: DANGER. WRITER AT WORK. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK. She loves writing fiction and traveling, and she hopes to write and travel a lot more. She also loves shooting guns, martial arts, and belly dancing. She has worked in the publishing business for over twenty years.

Awesome just brilliant I loved this book and getting to see things from Mari's perspective and see how she and Keene handle themselves without Erin or Ritter for once. If you read Unbounded book #4 The Reckoning, this is a must read before you read the last book, The Takeover which is what I am going to go do right now :D

OK, I had not intended on reading this book at ALL today, considering I had just finished reading book four. Well, curiously got the best of me, so I opened my Kindle and began reading. I couldn’t put it down.....I had to know what happened next! I love hearing about Mari’s view.

Onto the last book of the series, and I’m a little sad about it. I love Ritter.

I love these books and this series. I was nervous I'd have to start all over but I should not have feared. I caught right up with the storyline and was flying through it. Love the characters, the storyline, and voice.

Loved seeing this through Miri 's eyes

At 1st thinking it was looking back I realized we were carried forward during what would have been Mary's timeline.Talk about exciting and can't stop till the end!

Great read

I enjoyed this book. I love the entire Unbounded series. I have read 4 of 5 of the Unbounded novels. I recommend this one right fer novel 4. I have already downloaded the 5th intro my kindle. I am sad there is only one more to read at this time. I hope there will. More books in this series.

A very cute and interesting story about Mari. She's one of the better written characters.
