Juggernaut: The Inherited Stars Series
Lieutenant Commander Dekessa “Dek” Garr is second-in-command of a security force that protects a discovery buried deep inside an ancient lava tube. The implications of the find are staggering, and the stakes are high if their enemy—the Alliance—ever learns the truth about Site D. When her commander suddenly departs with zero warning and a mysterious visitor arrives, her job becomes a whole new level of complicated.
Sno Telon has an exercise to perform, and he isn’t about to let anyone stop him--including the dedicated acting commander known as Dek. But when his partner, CaSandra, a bioengineered dog-cat-weasel-mongoose, takes an immediate liking to the team leader, Sno realizes there’s much more to the woman than harsh words and hard scowls.
When Dek is attacked by an invisible foe who infiltrates the off-limits excavation, she immediately suspects Telon as the obvious culprit. But her interrogations of the man don’t go as planned and an unlikely bond forms between them as they reach a startling conclusion. Could the invisible perpetrator actually be an Alliance spy who’s about to blow open the secrets of Site D?
Can Dek trust Telon and his StarDog partner to help root out a possible Alliance operative, even if it means breaking every security protocol in the process? If her instincts about Telon are wrong, Site D’s secret could be lost forever…and her life along with it.

Another Star Dog sci-fi adventure from The Inherited Stars series. Laurie A Green's worldbuilding and action plots with engaging characters make for an exciting story to read.
In this latest, which appears to take place earlier chronologically in the series than the other two Star Dog stories, Juggernaut has the star dog trial run happening on a planet with a top secret base where scientific exploration work is done. The second in command is suspicious of Sno Telon, but he has to convince Lt. Dek Garr that he's not the one behind the security breaches on the base. Sno's star dog partner is pivotal at the crucial point.
The action, romance, and a surprise twist late in story are well developed in this fast-read novella. I'm looking forward to more star dog action and I really need to go back for the main stories in this series.

That, That Is, Is. That, That Is Not, Is Not.
Well done with a complex series of events, and tied to a masterful sense of world building. Ms. Green's expert hand crafts a story set in a universe of conflict, and at the same time takes place in the hearts of two disparate people.
Juggernaut is worth the ride, paying homage, somewhat, to Frank Herbert, for the settings and conflict.
