I really enjoyed the start of this series. I had read the author's Han Solo trilogy some years back and thought it was great. This proved to be just as quality as those books. The books centers on a human girl Mahree and her journey with first contact with an alien species. It brings them into contact with much more than that and the need to solve a dispute between them in order to become members into a league of systems. The characters are well developed and the story keeps your grip throughout. I recommend it.
