Levi Kaszeri wants retribution for the brutal injustice issued to the mining colony on Tarus 9. It has taken twenty years to be in a position to serve up a bit of payback, but his career as a reporter allows him to expose the identity of the guilty parties.

While collecting information for his investigation, Levi is attacked by an unknown assailant. A young doctor named Tiergan Seoras saves Levi, thanks to a bit of quick thinking and even faster reflexes. The two hit it off, but Tiergan has a few secrets of his own, and is unsure of how much he can reveal without putting himself and others around him in harm’s way. The web of deception in this book travels further than Alice in Wonderland’s rabbit hole. Will their love be enough to keep their relationship and trust intact?

Astrid Amara knows how to deliver action, passion, suspense and drama. I absolutely loved A Policy of Lies. It’s so nice to have a book where you can’t predict the outcome or the motivation behind each character. For once I found myself stumped and shaking my head in disbelief. That’s something that doesn’t happen often. It was a refreshing treat and I hated to see the story end. With wonderfully written characters, a fantastic setting, and action that will keep you on the edge of your seat, this book is a gem of a read. Not to mention the fact that it also has characters involved in a relationship that takes time to grow and flourish. A Policy of Lies is a must read that will not disappoint those who enjoy futuristic suspense novels.
