Summary

Anna nearly dies, along with all her family, at age four from the deadly Cacao virus. But she survives, thanks to a poisonous red-headed krait. The medical community is excited since there is no known cure for the virus, but Anna and her snake, Red, have a symbiotic relationship - containment, not cure. If she is ever separated from Red, she will die.

Anna struggles through foster homes. As her krait becomes known and valuable throughout the three star empires as one of only a handful of such snakes, she fights off attempts to kill her and snatch Red. She even comes to wonder if her brilliance in school and eventually at deciphering code is somehow connected to her constant companion.

When the Naval Intelligence Agency, the NIA, recruits her, her adventures grow beyond fending off thieves and killers to tracking down interstellar smugglers as part of an elite team, but the smuggling cartel are quick to fight back. In the midst of space battles and well-placed assassins, Anna is convinced that Red's presence may make the difference in survival or death, not just for her but her entire NIA team.

The story is a great read, I have read it a few times and wanted to have it as an audio so clearly I enjoy the story. My issue is with the narration. At the beginning she makes Anna sound like she is running a sex phone line and that was a bit of an ick to hear and put me of a fair bit, but I continued and it got a bit better. Alexa is apparently from Boston or somewhere like that but no matter who is saying it Krait sounds like Crocodile Dundee and it's just annoying.

Good Story, narration 50/50

spy novels are not my normal genre, but the symbiotic relationship intrigued me, and it's an included title, I wasn't disappointed. Full of heart stopping action along with human frailties kindness and the evil men do. the narration is full of emotion and characterization. I will definitely be getting book 2, free or not.

excellent
