Pico's Crush

A paradise planet turns deadly. Can a professor and a sniper save his daughter and her friends from mercenaries and a cunning killer?

When ex-military sniper and current personal security specialist Jerzi Adams visits his daughter Pico's quiet college on the paradise-like planet of Nila Marbela, he doesn't expect emergency evacuations and rogue robots. Nor does he expect to renew a friendship with former squad-mate, who is now Pico's teacher. And the last person Pico wants to see is the unrequited love she crossed half a galaxy to avoid.

Explosions, sabotage, and assaults used to be Andra De Luna's daily routine, but she gave it up for a professorship at a prestigious university. Now she's flung back into that world, reunited with a man she'd never forgotten to protect an entire floating campus of students.

When the hunt for a cunning serial killer leads Jerzi's old friends Luka and Mairwen (Overload Flux) to town, there's trouble in paradise as the body count starts to rise. Either the world of academia has gone from merely cutthroat to downright deadly, or more sinister forces are in conflict, with the campus as a battleground.

Can they improvise a miracle or two to keep everyone alive?
