Worth More Dead - Mayer, Shanon L.

. .

Résumé :
After life growing up in the beautifully rainy Pacific Northwest, Shanon L. Mayer tends to keep indoors, writing story after story, building vivid worlds on paper while her thoughts hold everything but images. She tends to look at everything in her world for inspiration - especially her collections of skulls, dragon statues, swords and knives, and pretty much anything that fits her eclectic, geeky-gothic lifestyle. When her busy life feels like too much, she can be found relaxing with a hot mug of tea and a documentary on anything from theoretical physics to deep ocean wildlife to the most famous heists the world has ever seen....

Sommaire:
Intergalactic spy M'Tarl Nox has been having a series of very bad days. Left for dead, she climbs from her own grave and seeks a way to restore her abilities, psychic powers that have been mysteriously disabled. Her need for psychic power has nothing to do with her own personal desires, as within her mind lie some of the most dangerous secrets in the galaxy, secrets that have been passed down through the most powerful psychics in her family line, secrets that must remain hidden at all costs. Things just keep going from bad to worse, as the Iron Gauntlet has discovered her vulnerability. To achieve their ends, they will do whatever it takes to secure her, and the knowledge she holds, for their own ends. To ensure the safety of the information she holds, she enlists the help of Jeoh, a dangerous and enigmatic scientist, who claims to be able to help her regain her stolen abilities... assuming she can meet his price....
