I always keep my word. That's why I'm headed back to Mars for a case. That's also why the Spiffies - Space Patrol Intelligence Force - came sniffing around my office. I told them to get lost. They told me my case had connections to their search for the Bloodsword, the pirate ship that destroyed my first command and cost me my career in Space Patrol.But my case has roots far older than my six-year quest for vengeance against the Bloodsword. Roots that stretch back to the dawn of Martian civilization.And Trouble, my partner and lover, is right smack in the middle of it all.

Critical praise for THE RECOGNITION RUN:"Struck from the template of classic space opera, this tale of intergalactic adventure hits all of the right notes. It has a likeable hero and heroine, nasty villains, a plot full of intrigue and unforeseeable surprises, and a colorfully rendered outer-space backdrop against which its well-paced events unfold."- Publisher's Weekly The BookLife Prize Critic's ReportNOW...After beating almost insurmountable odds, Jeanine has laid claim to her birthright: the largest duchy in the Star Kingdom. As Jeanine's sworn enemy, Princess Olivia, distances the royal family from direct confrontation with the new Duchess, a new enemy arises. When Jeanine and Olivia are both kidnapped, their husbands -- Drake and Prince William -- must bury the hatchet and work together to rescue the women they love.The Recognition Rejection continues the star-spanning saga of royalty and revenge that began in Vogel's award-nominated novel, The Recognition Run, with the same flair for exciting story-telling fans of Vogel's previous best-selling space operas have come to know and love."It's not lip service to say that Henry's books have proven that I'm not broken as a fan of speculative fiction, which is what I was starting to believe before I read Scout's Honor. I just needed something that reminded me of why I love the genres. His books are glorious love letters to the fun and optimism that draws us in when we're young."- L. Joseph Shosty, author and freelance editor
