Synopsis (Goodreads):
My lilapetal is dying...and I can’t save her.
The woman who brought me back to life may not live long enough to see me truly happy.
All the tests, the experiments have failed me...and I have failed her.
If I don’t devise a cure to save my alien, I’ll spend the rest of my existence on Mortuus alone.

The others believe my mate isn’t strong enough to survive. That she can’t breed and should be put back into cryosleep until she’s healed.

But I won’t allow it.

I will defy the only family I’ve ever known to save her.
Even if it means vanishing into the unknown.

She is all that matters and no amount of her protests will keep me from doing what I must to keep her safe.
Thoughts on The Vanished Specialist: Aria made a snap decision in her book to awaken one of the other sleeping women (for REASONS) and it didn't go so well for poor Emery. Admittedly, it wasn't Aria's fault that things went badly, but between Emery's asthma and other issues she was dying by inches and nobody knew what to do about it.

Well, nobody except Calix. More to the point, he was so invested in making sure she survived (and thrived) that he was willing to try anything to fix her. Which isn't as weird as it sounds. It was more like he was willing to put in the time and brainpower and delve into his father's old journals to find other methods of healing her that hadn't been used in a long time.

For the record, Calix might have come across as a little creepy when he was cuddling up to Emery when she was still in stasis, but he's just as smitten and adoring as Breccan was with Aria. You know how it goes...when the mating urge hits, it hits hard and fast. And it hasn't been wrong yet, so there's that.

I loved, loved, loved getting to see the outside away from the habitat. Things are bleak and deadly, but (maybe) not as horrible as I thought from book 1. Mortuus might have been altered by what happened to it, but it seems like there are pockets of the old world left. They're still dangerous, sure, but the world is adapting and surviving in its own way and I REALLY like that.
