Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Aurora Blazing by Jessie Mihalik 


Polaris Rising was the first book in this trilogy.  The House von Hasenberg, is a major player in a society dominated by corporate rather than state control.  Bianca von Hasenberg finds herself leading a rescue mission for her kidnapped brother in the midst of a house to house war.  

Bianca and Ian are the main characters in this book.   The lady and the body guard could be a sub-title.  Ian is head of security for House von Hasenberg and headstrong Bianca is his most frustrating charge. 

The two of them are searching for Ferdinand, Bianca’s brother, who has been kidnapped.   The story is full of corporate and criminal intrigue as well as plenty of action.  

This book in the trilogy has some brief sexual vignettes that could have been eliminated.  They seemed more appropriate to a romance novel rather than scifi.  They weren’t raunchy but I felt the details were superfluous to the story.  That action could have been alluded to rather than detailed.



Overall, I enjoyed the book and the action and can’t wait to see how the author ties up all the loose ends. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
