Terran Reset #5
Going Cold
Going from supporting family to being an imperial courier across the stars doesn’t take as long as she thought. She can deal with the assassins.
Once the details of her life are sorted out and all impediments removed, Hesker takes on a new name for a new life in a new position. She heads to the stars, is reset, and all traces of her previous life are removed from her body.
No one wants to carry a lifetime of mistreatment and murder with them, after all.
Once she gets to the Imperium, she is ready to start afresh, and being the envoy to the imperial heirs is not a task for the faint-hearted.
She is tasked with bringing boxes containing gifts to nearly a hundred worlds, and she is guarded with her own set of guardians.
One of her guards is tasked with guardianship of her person, and he immediately gives her authorization to touch him for instructional purposes. What woman could refuse an invitation like that?

I an not quite sure how I feel about this fifth story. She grew up as a family assassin, wanted out, parents gave her a skull fracture and broke her arms when they found her letter of acceptance for the Volunteers. She waited 30 years and upon acceptance and her parents died of carbon monoxide poisoning. She went into service immediately as Nyal royal courier. The author wrote an excellent description of a bespoke psychopath. This was a hard one to digest. Wonderful work.

An enjoyable short sci-fi romance.
I enjoyed this romance somewhat, though the choice to make a sociopath the protagonist of a romance novel was a deeply problematic one. I would have liked this novel better if the heroine was capable of love and empathy. Aside from that, the plot was exciting and the world building was interesting. I enjoyed revisiting some of the worlds and heroines of the Terran Times series quite a bit.

Another winning series!
Having just finished the last in this series, I am already missing them. In the beginning I thought it was an unusual premise for a series but as I read through it I became more and more enthralled.

One of the very best
I have enjoyed every Terran Reset story, but I think this is my favourite. I never saw the twists coming, but they fitted the story perfectly. Highly, highly recommended and I'm just sorry it's the end of this series.

Thank you thank you
WOW what a fantastic read. All 5 books in the Terran Reset Series were great. It was lovely to read stories about older women getting a second chance to do something they love. I hope you do more stories like these.

Love this series. So unique and different. I loved Hesker and Harikoth. This might be my favorite couple of the series.

Yet another totally enjoyable story by Viola Grace. I really enjoy that the Resets get to visit the first Volunteers and we revisit their families.

Great Read
Loved the characters and the development of the main characters. The other characters were not left out either and this made for even more enjoyment.

Wow I just loved Valat and Hesker. Oh my gosh there were some truly funny moments in this book. This book was well written and the supporting characters were well thought out. The world building is absolutely incredible and intriguing. I highly recommend this book and this series. I will be looking at the any other books that are connected to this series. I hope there is more to come in this series.
