Sergeant Mags is on her own among the enemy on a strange planet except for someone she is not comfortable with-a shape-shifter warrior.

Sergeant Mags turned down a chance at a desk job to go out with into space and join others in discovering the answers on a different world. She was more interested in what was still out to be discovered than tracking and training others.

But this time she may have discovered too much as she and a group of Marines and a shape-shifter warrior are trapped back behind enemy lines and cut off from rescue. Now, against her better judgment, she must trust the man who came from the distant planet Veld and can do the impossible: change his body.

Sometimes action is better than words, especially under stress and enemy fire.
