NATIONAL BEST SELLING SERIES #3 in the science fiction adventure Orphan’s Legacy series, a saga of spy games and military action on an interplanetary scale.
The balance point of interplanetary Cold War II between Earth and monolithic Yavet tips unexpectedly toward peace. Covert ops Captain Jazen Parker and his sharp shooting lover and partner Kit Born slide from world saving hazardous duty to escorting a telepathic alien monster home from Earth to mate. And the two of them are forced to consider a quiet domestic future together.
But when old enemies’ thirsts for power and revenge, Jazen’s problematic past, and his former girlfriend, upset Jazen and Kit’s personal balance point, the two cold warriors find their relationship, and their very survival, tested as never before.
Lost in space, and from one another, they must each penetrate Yavet, the universe’s most insular and repressive world, then foil a plot that could turn Cold War II hot and nuclear—or die trying.

J. Cherryh, offering entertainment aplenty with thoughtful meditations on how humanity can get along with itselfor not!"—Locus
About Robert Buettner and the Orphan's Legacy Series:
“Buettner goes well beyond . . . military science fiction . . . he understands . . . living as a soldier—the boredom punctuated by terror, the constant anxiety and self-doubt, the random chaos that battle always is, and the emotional glue that holds together people who may have nothing in common except absolute responsibility for one another's lives.” —Joe Haldeman, Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author

Great finish to this part of the series
By Amazon Customer
I picked up my first book in this series after being hooked by the Orphan series and loved the way it changed the whole direction of the story but remained in a familiar set of worlds. This book was a great finish dwelling on the cold war aspects of relationships which the author openly admits are reflective of our own. Like all good science fiction books it sets familiar themes where we can explore them and explore our reactions to them from a distance. Loved the characters, loved the final linkages, but ould have loved the ending to be a little more drawn out as it all finished with a bang. Great book, keep writing

Rescuing Orion
By Arthur W Jordin
Balance Point (2014) is the third SF novel in the Orphan's Legacy series, following Undercurrents. The initial volume in this sequence is Overkill. This volume also contains the short story Mole Hunt(2011), set in the same universe, but with different characters.
In the previous volume, Polian was checking an operation in the arctic circle when someone fired on the Tressen troops. He sent out a skimmer to search through a blizzard for the intruder. They couldn't find anything in the snowstorm, but accidentally collided with the shooter.
The intruder was taken to Tressel for hospitalization. The Tressens thought that the patient was an Iridian assassin. Yet Polian believed that the patient was a Trueborn operative.
The operative remained unconscious in the hospital. Polian brought in a Yavi interrogator to tap the memories of the unconscious operative. The specialist brought the patient back to consciousness and drained ninety percent of the pertinent memories.
Howard talked Jazen back into Human Union Intelligence. Kit had vanished on Tressel while investigating an alliance between the Yavis and the Tressens. He was concerned by the alliance, but was more worried about the disappearance of Kit.
In this novel, Jazen Parker is the son of Jason Wander and Mimi Ozawa. He was born on Yavet without official authorization and then served in the Legion as a tanker. After the grezzen incident, he became a special-operations case officer for the Human Union. He is Kit's partner.
Catherine Trentin Born is a Trueborn from Earth. Kit is a Colonel in the US Army, seconded to the Peacekeeping dForces of the Human Union. She is also a Senior Special-operations case officer. She is Jazen's partner.
Howard Hibble is a Lieutenant General in the US Army and the Director of Intelligence for the Human Union. He is Kit's boss and a friend of Jazen's father.
Maxillian Polian is Director General of Internal Security for the Unified Republics of Yavet. He is the father of Ruberd Polian, who died on Tressel.
Gill is the new Director General of External Security for the Unified Republics of Yavet. He was the commanding officer of Ruberd when he died.
Orion Parker is an Illegal midwife on Yavet. She had been Jazen's foster mother until he escape into the Legion.
Carl Otto is the Hospitality Vice President of the Bank of Rand. He is a spy for Union Intelligence.
Mort is a grezzen male, a eleven-ton sentient telepathic alien carnivore. He and his species have been the top predators on their planet for millions of years.
Bartram Cutler is a Trueborn from Earth. He owned the richest and most powerful interstellar firm in Human Space. Then he was convicted in a secret trial and imprisoned. He was forced from his prior positions and all his know bank accounts were forfeited.
In this story, Jazen has been summoned to the Okefenokee Chemical Weapons Test Range. When he arrives, he finds one soldier playing possum, a wrecked multi-terrain transport, and a flame thrower. The fires are slowly dying down.
Jazen hears Mort roaring nearby, so he walks out to communicate with the telepath. He could have mindtalked from where he was, but his personal presence is necessary to hold Mort's attention. Mort has mindheard that Cutler was pardoned and released.
Three days later, Jazen attends a political affair. Kit has just returned and he is much more interested in her presence than the affair itself. They find a bed near Kit's sailboat.
Later, Howard tells them that the new president is cutting his department. No more raids against Yavi excursions. Jazen points out that if the Javis get C-drive, then the only alternative would be nuking the planet.
Being a former native of Yavet, he knows that most of the population are not enemies of the Trueborn. Kit suggests that Cutler may be working with the Yavis. Jazen believes otherwise.
On Rand, Cutler is using the alias of "Quartermain" and Polian is using "Hitchcock". Quartermain and Hitchcock are hunting with Otto and a hotel guide. When they get back to the hotel, Cutler makes a proposition to Polian. The Yavis will get classified blueprints of the C-drive if they do some favors for him.
After returning to Yavet, Polian checks on Cutler. Then he has a talk with Gill. The two decide to deal with Cutler without informing their superiors.
Polian gets Orion released from prison. In her effects, he plants a letter from Jazen. Orion sends two messages offplanet, one to Jazen and the other to Jason and Mimi.
This tale brings Jason and Mimi to Rand. Otto brings them the letter from Orion. They make plans to return to Yavet.
Jazen gets his message from Orion on Mousetrap. He and Kit have a dispute. He leaves for Yavet. Polian gets more than he expects.
"Mole Hunt" (2011) takes a Yavi crew onto Dead End to salvage the C-drive out of a crashed fighter. They run into trouble with the flora and fauna.
The next installment in this sequence has not yet been announced on Amazon.
Highly recommended for Buettner fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of special ops, dangerous beasts, and a bit of romance. Read and enjoy!

Continues the excellent story in the Orphan’s Legacy Universe
By James Connolly
This is the 3rd book in Orphan’s Legacy series. It continues the stories of Jazen Parker and company, and involves events during a second Cold War between Earth and Yavet. What stuck out about this book were the historical parallels to the cold war, with lots of tidbits about the original cold war, spying + covert actions. It was a very entertaining continuation of the story, involving all of the characters from the past two books. I would say it has a bit less action sequences as the previous books, but made up for that by containing a great story. It actually prompted myself to look up some true life Cold War events on Wikipedia (The author instructed to look it up).
The Orphan’s series contains a well fleshed out, interesting universe, and I hope to see more books involving its characters. And like Buettner’s other books, it contains great humor and entertaining writing, making it an enjoyable read.
