Book Cover: Taken
Part of the Arcadia series:

Fix your planet before we have to, warns the Alliance.

All Ethan Winter ever wanted was to run his family’s solar energy business. But that business has been attacked, he’s been imprisoned and brutalised, his planet threatened, and to save them he must work with a woman set on fighting him every step of the way. The planet Arcadia’s environment is dangerously unbalanced and the Alliance is demanding they fix it or lose their home world. The Alliance of Human Worlds doesn’t make empty threats.

Union organiser, daughter of a workshop supervisor and a fiery politician, Sarwenna Beren is set for battle from the moment Ethan Winter arrives at her remote desert town surrounded by rumours of change. He’s rich, powerful and heir to the family that owns the town’s main business. His arrival threatens the jobs of all those who have put their trust in her. Sar isn’t about to let him shut down the one place keeping her town alive.

Then a frightened boy runs off into to the desert. Ethan’s flyer is his best hope of rescue, but he needs Sarwenna’s local knowledge. Together they try to trace the boy’s flight—only to come under attack from a strange beam and an unknown flyer that nearly kills them both. Ethan and Sarwenna must find out find out who is behind the mysterious attacks and why before they succeed. It doesn’t help that both have their own suspicions about who is helping their attackers. Suspicions that must be kept secret, especially from each other.

You don’t betray family.

Reviews:Whiskey With My Book on Whiskey With My Book wrote:

The author has created a richly detailed setting that depicts a world on the brink – of change or ruin. Both the natural enviroment and the people that inhabit it are in peril. The very long story (about 600 pages) is perfectly paced, alternating between the overall environmental conflict, the conflicting efforts of the interested parties and the personal relationships of Ethan, Sarwenna and their families. Those who have read Torn, will appreciate the appearance of Fee and Caleb. However, Taken can be read as a standalone. Both books were phenomenal!
