Sold into indentured servitude by the corrupt Bankers, Raul Timberland finds himself the pilot for the Sweet Rose with a strange monkey-like creature to assist him-Peaches. While the cargo ship is taking on supplies at a space station, Raul meets an other-wordly woman who captivates him and leads him on a race to save the station . . . and their lives. In this fast-paced adventure, Stacy Bender once again weaves a space tale that will leave you breathless. Known for her strong female characters, she doesn't disappoint in I Like Alice with the character of Allison Banacek. Add in a few nefarious villains, a reptile/human love story, and a charming gang of space monkeys, and you have all the ingredients for an exciting read that is hard to put down.
