Romance, Reincarnation, and Adventure on a Colony World! In the spellbinding second volume of Sally Swanson's "Soul Desire" trilogy, Xinia, powerful and confident commander of the starship Naiad, rests frozen in stasis during the long voyage ferrying colonists to distant Sirius Seven. Conflict has already taken form around her even before leaving Earth. She is deeply attracted to both John Larson and Henri Fricol, and each is madly in love with Xinia and is determined to win her from the other. Meanwhile, unexpected disaster and difficult decisions lie ahead. Does the key to Xinia's future rest in her past? For, as she lies in stasis, she dreams of three very different lives far in the past, which yet have strange parallels to her present situation. In all three she loved, and was loved, by a pair of strong, determined men, each pair strangely resembling John and Henri. The decisions she made in those lives sometimes turned out well, sometimes terribly. If she learned any useful lessons in those lives, she will need them soon. For the claxons are about to awaken her and the rest of the ship's crew to face a disaster of unimaginable proportions that could leave them drifting helplessly among the stars forever or send them crashing out of control into the nearest world. Adult language and sexual situaitons.
