On a planet where women are forbidden, you'd think an obstetrician would be underemployed... But not so; Dr. Ethan Urquhart, Chief of Biology at the Severin District Reproduction Center, is one of the busiest men on the planet Athos. That is, until a mysterious genetic crisis threatens Athos with extinction. Drafted to brave the wider universe in search of new ovarian tissue cultures, Ethan braces himself for his first encounter with those most alien of aliens... females of his own species. But not even his wildest imaginings could have prepared him for alliance with Dendarii Mercenary Commander Elli Quinn, an utterly gorgeous mercenary intelligence officer who has her own secret interest in Athos's problems... and Ethan as well.
