Books like Doubleblind (Sirantha Jax # 3) by Ann Aguirre
Sirantha Jax—a ship ‘jumper’ who has earned a reputation for favoring the hard way—receives a diplomatic mission she never saw coming: negotiating with the Ithtorians, a species that views humans with suspicion as hard as their exoskeletons. Amid council talks that could determine the fate of humanity, Jax must balance her outlandish personality with the stakes of interstellar politics. Her lover, locked in a permanent kill mode, complicates negotiations and jeopardizes the mission. With raiders, pirates, and flesh‑eating aliens threatening the Outskirts, the Alliance with the Ithtorians could be humanity’s last hope. Jax questions why a notorious troublemaker was chosen, but she remains undeterred.
Described as hard‑nosed yet determined, the third book in the Sirantha Jax series explores the challenges of space diplomacy in a universe where trust is a rare commodity and survival hinges on sharp wits and quick reflexes.
