FICTION
Released: Feb. 21, 2012

"Robb, the futuristic alter ego of Nora Roberts, has churned out more than 35 titles in the In Death series. Here there's a sprinkling of droids, techie hardware and off-planet references, but mainly an old-fashioned love story interrupted by gore."
FICTION
Released: Feb. 1, 2009
"Like its 29 predecessors (Salvation in Death, 2008, etc.), wry, sexy and facile, just as you'd expert from Robb's practiced alter ego, Nora Roberts. The resolution is a bit of a letdown, but Roarke is a great pin-up boy, and you'll swoon over those cars with vertical thrust."
Lt. Eve Dallas reaches out from New York's Homicide Division to outwit a perp sequestered off-planet on the Omega Penal Colony.

"Roarke and Eve remain an appealing pair, and Eve's flashes of vulnerability contrast nicely with her no-nonsense approach to work. Occasionally, though, Robb's New-York-in-2060 gimmick draws undue attention to itself."

Born in Death, Nov. 2006, etc.) returns to investigate the murder of a popular history teacher and deal with an unexpected threat to her marriage.
