      Man sollte einem Zwei-Sterne-General nie sagen, was man wirklich von ihm denkt. Doch genau diesen Fehler macht Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr. Nach dem letzten erfolgreichen Einsatz erklärt sie dem General ganz genau, was sie von ihm hält. Als Belohnung – oder zur Strafe – muss Torin ohne ihre Mannschaft zur nächsten Mission aufbrechen. Sie soll eine wissenschaftliche Expedition auf einem gerade erst entdeckten, scheinbar verlassenen Raumschiff von wahrhaft gigantischen Ausmaßen schützen. Doch nicht nur sie schützt die Mission, ein vorgesetzter Offizier, der politisch einige Eisen im Feuer hat, ist ebenfalls dabei. Es wird sich zeigen, ob das Schiff wirklich nur ein harmloses Wrack ist oder eine tödliche Falle. Oder auch das Werk einer bisher unbekannten Alienrasse, die sich mit anderen Lebensformen ganz und gar nicht verträgt ...

    • Napsat Dluh krve nebylo mým původním záměrem, protože jsem považovala příběh za uzavřený s koncem Spojení krve. Po čase jsem však cítila potřebu prozkoumat Vickiin nový život a změny ve jejím světě. Velkým rozdílem bylo, že Henry se usadil ve Vancouveru, což znamenalo, že Vicki a Mike museli za ním. Tato změna je zbavila vnitřního spojence, a v případě potíží byli odkázáni sami na sebe, přičemž většinu problémů si způsobili sami. Krevní pouta se zaměřují na vztahy mezi hlavními protagonisty a metafyzické záhady, a protože jsem v Dluhu krve vyřešila jejich vztahy, neplánuji další knihy o Vicki Nelsonové, kromě sbírky povídek nazvané Krevní banka. V této sbírce se opět objevují soukromá detektivka Vicky Nelsonová, detektiv Celluci a upír Henry Fitzroy, levoboček anglického krále Henryho VIII. Povídky doplňují příběhy z předchozích knih a zkoumají nástrahy důvěrných vztahů mezi lidmi a upíry, stejně jako jejich společný boj s temnými přízraky a démony. I upíři mohou stát na straně světla a spravedlnosti.
