From ForeWord Clarion book review:

"A bad decision during a mission lands Shiloh in the midst of a covert operation. In an effort to make sense of her circumstances, she violates Zygan protocol, landing her in even deeper trouble. With the help of Spud and a diverse cast of alien characters, Shiloh crosses time and space in a thrilling adventure that weaves elements of Earth?s culture?including the Ancient Greeks, a Christ-like character in the Ancient Middle East, and alien sightings in Roswell, New Mexico?into a galactic showdown between good and evil. Near the end of the book, some surprising revelations about the characters and the inner workings of Shiloh?s Ergal raise questions about the motives of the Omega Archon, leader of the Zygan Empire, and the value of individuality and free will, weaving some philosophical threads into this brainy offering.

The text is studded with light-hearted references to popular culture, often in the form of footnotes, which add a humorous element in the style of Douglas Adam?s Hitchhikers series. For example, an alien fuel problem leads the Zygans to build factories where the glowing yellow-green alien waste is sealed in plastic tubes and sold, ?explaining? the existence of light sticks. Multiple plot twists and non-stop action, including many intense battle sequences, will keep fans of hard-core space adventures engaged in the story. Cerebral science fiction fans will enjoy the carefully detailed links between the Zygan Emprise and our Earth?s history."
