. .

Résumé :
Chaell Shisal, captain of the Euclidian resource extraction ship Andrea, leads his space-going vessel across the Milky Way Galaxy in search of planets to mine. His ship harvests minerals, people, and technology from unsuspecting planets. On occasion, the Euclidian invite advanced civilizations into their alliance of planets. As a result, the Andrea has a diverse crew drawn from across the alliance. Each crewmember shares in the spoils from each mission, although senior officers earn the lion's share of the bounty. Planet Earth is Shisal's last mission and the Executive Officer (XO) of the Andrea has plotted a mutiny to replace him and take his share of the loot. The battle lines have been drawn and it's the XO of the alien ship Andrea against its Captain, his loyal crewmembers, and a newly formed alliance with some of the same Earthlings he attacked. In the middle of the fight is a gang of female bikers who don't like following the rules, and each has her own agenda. The XO risks losing his cargo, his wealth, and his career, while the Captain and his band of followers risk losing their way back home, their lives, and the Earth. A lone teenager, Morgan, holds the balance between the two forces. The Euclidian series is a tale of alien invasion from the viewpoint of the aliens. It contains intrigue, romance, epic battles, strong female characters, and a level of diversity to be expected from futuristic novels.
