If everyone told you love wasn't real, would you still be willing to die for it? Sara Mendoza and Sean Cryer are. In their multi-partner, caste-ruled society, love and jealousy are considered emotional fallacies, nothing more than fleeting moods and sentiments biased by hormones. Relationships and conceptions in this world obsessed with celebrity, beauty, and power are based on DNA and lineages... or should be. But not everyone believes in the ruling traditions of the all-powerful Embassy. A quiet rebellion prowls the dark underground of this shiny world where techno-militants calling themselves fraggers grow in numbers and bravado. The Embassy intends to silence the fragger movement before the heresy of equality spreads throughout the system. Sara Mendoza is part of the Embassy's plan. Falsely accused of treason and tortured, she is given a chance to win back her freedom if she charms information from one of the fragger leaders, then kill him. By the time she figures out the Embassy's intel is flawed and that Sean Cryer is her true mark, she's already in love with him. Sean knows why Sara is on his ship from the start, but as a lonely, anti-social doser, he doesn't value his life, only his ideology within the fragger organization. Against his better judgment he becomes her protector, each day caring more about a future that he was always afraid to hope for.OTHER BOOKS IN THIS WORLD:GREENSHIFT (FROM THE WORLD OF AMBASADORA)STARRIE (FROM THE WORLD OF AMBASADORA)COMING 2018: AMBASADORA BOOK 2: SCARRED BY LIGHT"The book has a lot of themes, dealing with issues of caste, social mores, sexuality, freedom and the danger of a person gaining too much power over others. Like any good piece of science fiction, it makes the reader really think about things while at the same time creating an entertaining world to experience; in this case, the author took her background in anthropology to create a very realistic world. Highly recommended."-K. Sozaeva "Obsessive bibliophile," Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer and Vine Voice"This author's many strengths include complex world building, complex societal structure, complex technology. The plot was well-crafted as well... I just couldn't put it down... "-J. Wells, Amazon Vine Voice"Sara and Sean, the main characters, are both obviously meant for each other; with little hints scattered in the beginning of the novel, the author will have the reader convinced their eventual relationship is real. The love scenes are very believable while the torture scenes are painfully realistic. The author has a way of paying attention to details to the point where every nuance is covered; the reader will be able to picture the environment, expressions, and scenes very well."-Chels, Amazon Top 1000 Reviewer"AMBASADORA has a lot to say about the human spirit and it says it well."-Mike Resnick, Nebula and Hugo Award-winning author"With an anthropologist's eye for world building and an engaging fast-paced style, Heidi Ruby Miller hurtles her characters through a dystopian labyrinth in which hollow beauty is revered and love a virtual crime."-Christopher Paul Carey, EXILES OF KHO"Beautifully vibrant and intricately textured, Heidi Ruby Miller's AMBASADORA explores the value of true humanity, the limitless power of desire and the triumph of the individual soul. Amidst edge-of-the-seat action, Miller effortlessly incorporates the conflicts of the modern woman inherent in upholding feminist sensibility.
