Crystal Witness

Her memories are blocked. Her freedom is gone. Her crime is a mystery.  When Ming Dalamani awakens from twenty years of suspended animation, she recalls only fragments of her former life: the life she led before she was arrested by the governing interplanetary corporation, Renasco, for a now unremembered crime.  Relocated to an alien world far from the only home she has ever known, Ming serves a powerful Renasco representative to repay her debt. But daily she lives with deadly threats from two men--the hideous mutant Zardir Huekk and the handsome, secretive musician Tieg Innig--who both want the same thing: information.
