About Interference & Insurgency: Verdant String (Unabridged)

About Interference: The tiny moon of Cepi is on a countdown to destruction, and while Nyha Bartali has been persuaded to take her four wards for a final look at the archaeological wonder, now she's eager to leave. The only problem is someone has other plans—plans to exploit Nyha and the girls in her care in order to give themselves time to steal Cepi's secrets. Mak Carep knows his team's presence on Cepi is the last flex of his planet Arkhor's muscles before the moon is blown to bits. Arkhor has interfered on Cepi since it discovered the ruins four hundred years ago, but sometimes, interference can have unexpected consequences. When Nyha and her girls are taken hostage, Mak and the rest of his special forces team are the only ones who have any hope of rescuing them, and they're ready and willing to do what Arkhor does best ... interfere. About Insurgency: The Parnian city of Var is under siege. Nick Bartega is part of the Protection Unit team investigating a string of explosions, but with no discernible pattern, and no one taking responsibility, he and his colleagues have hit a blank wall. That is, until his neighbor, Tila, is caught up in the first real mistake the insurgents have made. When they're forced to take Tila's whole office hostage, surrounded and out of options, they use Tila as their shield. Tila sees herself as Parnian first, Halatian second, but her dark blue hair, and the strong emotions her very existence provokes in others means the insurgents see her as the perfect hostage. No one on Parn wants to give the order that might catch her in the crossfire. They'd rather let the insurgents get away. Nick isn't prepared to leave Tila in the insurgents' hands, though. And he's prepared to break any rule to get her free.
