Jade Darcy and the Zen Pirates
Author: Stephen Goldin & Mary Mason
 
Honour among thieves was a concept new to Jade Darcy. So when Megan Cafferty hired the computer-enhanced mercenary warrior for a mission to the isolationist world of Restappa, Jade expected to spend most of her time guarding their belongings from the devious monks who would be their hosts. But theft would prove the least of their worries. For Restappa was about to choose the new heir to religious rule of the planet. And as guests at the monastery where the selection ceremonies would take place, Jade and Megan were quickly caught up in the devious plots and intricate assassination games of the various candidates and sects - some of whom saw them as a prize to be won, while others marked them as a danger to be eliminated with all possible speed . . .
