When Sara Donovan joins Project Enterprise she
finds out that what doesn't kill her makes her stronger...
An Air Force pilot - the best of the best to be
assigned to this mission - Sara isn't afraid to travel far beyond
the Milky Way on an assignment that that takes her into a galaxy
torn apart by a long and bitter warfare between the Dusan and the
Gadi. After she's shot down and manages to land safely on an
inhospitable planet, Sara encounters Kiernan Fyn - a seriously hot
alien with a few secrets of his own - he's a member of the
resistance group called the Ojemba, lead by the mysterious and
ruthless Kalian. Together they must avoid capture, but can they
avoid their growing attraction to each other? A mysterious, hidden
city on the planet brings Sara closer to the answers she seeks -
about her baffling abilities, and her mother's past. She has no idea
she's being pulled into the same danger her mother fled - the key to
a secret left behind by a lost civilization, the Garradians. The
Dusan and the Gadi want the key. So do the Ojemba. They think Sara
has it. They are willing to do anything to get it. Sara will have to
do anything to stop them...

REVIEWS FOR THE KEY - By
Pauline Baird Jones
THE KEY
By Night Owl Romances – Top Pick and Reviewer’s Choice
"The Key was good in every way a novel can be. It's an engrossing
story with full character development and growth. There is an
ultimate battle between good and evil and Ms. Baird Jones even makes
the villain likable on some levels. For me, The Key is one of those
rare books that strengthened my love of reading. Thanks for the
story Pauline."
THE KEY
By Heartstrings Reviews
"Love Linnea Sinclair? Get a kick out of Susan Grant? Then you'll
want to glom up on releases by Pauline Baird Jones. The Key
isn't so much a sci-fi release as it is a dang good read, and this
reviewer is anxious to read more of Baird Jones. Fun and fantastic
at the same time, The Key is an intergalactic space adventure
that will thrill readers to the very tips of their
toes."
THE KEY
By The Good, The Bad, The Unread reviews
"For the SFR buff this is a must read. Don’t bother if you are
looking for futuristic erotica. The characterization is good and the
romance is compelling. There is plenty of sexual tension but little
actual sex. There is adventure and suspense. Also, something I
personally require, there is an HEA. If you like a few nanites and
ray guns in your romance you should pick this one
up."
THE KEY – FOUR STARS FROM ROMANTIC
TIMES
"Action is the name of the game as a
feisty and hard-hitting heroine rises to the challenge in this
rousing space adventure. Not only is this a fast-paced tale, the
rampaging deception and cultural clashes ensure this hero and
heroine will need all their survival skills."
THE KEY – Simegen
Reviews
"Great plot! Superb workmanship on
the characters! So sit back and take the ride of your life. This was
by far the best Sci Fi novel in a long time. Pauline Baird Jones, a
marvelous creator of some remarkable characters, put a new twist on
a great Sci Fi story, The Key."
THE KEY – The Romance Studio
review
"There were many characters, good
and bad, on all sides of the plot, with most of the characters
filling important roles. Sara was a wonderful character, I could
have seen her walk right out of the book...I loved the development
of love between Sara and Fyn. Ms. Jones wrote a wonderful book. I
will certainly put her on my to be read list."
THE KEY
"I don't remember how I discovered Pauline Baird Jones' books but
I do know that once I did, I made a concentrated effort to get my
hands on a copy of each release. The thing is, living in Canada, her
books aren't easily available to me and it takes time and effort to
find copies. It was well worth it. Pauline is one of those authors
who keep getting better and better with each book. Take, "The
Key," her newest release; I started reading it on Friday night
and had it finished in the early hours of Saturday. I just gulped it
down. Then on Sunday, I started over again and savored it over a
period of three days. It was even better the second time around. The
story is a romantic suspense like all her books, but it's also a
science fiction. As far as I'm concerned this is her best book yet.
The characters are well developed and likeable. The setting is
interesting and the story line very imaginative. In fact, I
sincerely hope she's planning on making a series starting Sara and
Kiernan. I can't wait to see what happens to them next. I highly
recommend this book to everyone; whether you like romance,
science-fiction or suspense, you're covered. It's an excellent read
and if you're like me, you'll be clamoring for more." Michele

DANG! – August 29, 2007
By Sharon K. Garner (PA)
That's what Sara Donovan would say. What a ride! Pauline Baird
Jones has ventured where she's never ventured before, and I'm one
pleased, satisfied reader who tagged along with The Key's characters
for the ride of a lifetime. Dang!
A female U.S. Top Gun is part
of a mission to another galaxy where three factions are looking for
the key to the secrets of a lost civilization. Sara is shot down
& rescued by a seriously hot alien pilot, with dreads, who's
stranded on the same small planet. The rescuer, Fyn, becomes the
rescued when Sara's team picks them up--but they both have secrets,
secrets that can destroy the love that grows between them &
promises to rescue both of them.
The Key is full of believable
characters, and military, flying, and combat lingo. Sara never slips
out of character. In fact, she never blinks.
If you happen to be
male and read the words 'throw down,' run away. If you read the word
'nice,' read faster. You won't be sorry. Neither will anyone else
who reads The Key.
JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME!! – August 30, 2007
By Marilyn Taylor (Cody, WY)
For fans of Pauline B. Jones AND for Sci-Fi lovers, you can't
beat this book! Gripping, exciting, wonderful plot! The space battle
is a work of art! Also has great humor and characters that are real
- not always an easy feat with a Sci-Fi style book. There's romance,
but this is not just for chicks - my 17 yr. old son LOVED it!! It
crosses genres and you will love this book and remember Sara Donovan
long after the last page! Give yourself a treat and read this book!
I LIKED IT EVEN THOUGH IT WAS NOT MY GENRE – September 6,
2007
By R. Baird (Bullhead City, AZ)
Just finished the new book by Ms Jones. I am not usually a fan of
this kind of book but it grabbed me from page one. I loved it.
SCI FI WITH HEART – January 19, 2008
By Genie Davis (Los Angeles)
Science fiction, sure but with a beating heart and plenty of
soul, too. A sci fi that touches humans and cannot be really
classified as anything except: a great read!
THE KEY – September 8, 2007
By Ann G. Baird (Lovell, WY)
This writer has captured the excitement, danger, and suspense
when people from earth exploring more than one galaxy meet a
dangerous force that wants to overcome all other peoples. Her
heroine is strong, principled, and beautiful. Quite a combination. I
read the first two pages after receiving the book and was unable to
quit reading from then on. The writer has good command of her craft
and doesnt' disappoint.
HER BEST YET! – September 7, 2007
By Jill Hitz (Lovell, WY)
I am not a big sci-fi fan but this book is an exception. Ms.
Jones does an awesome job of combining action and adventure with
just the right amount of romance and a great sense of humor. I
couldn't put this book down. I think this is one of her best books
yet. This is definately a book you will want to read again and
again.
NICE! – September 2, 2007
By A. Conoan-Baird (Cowley, WY)
I loved it! I couldn't put it down! The story got me from the
first page, and I didn't come up for air until I got to the end.
What a great ride! This is intelligently written, fun, with
believable characters. I loved Sara Donovan's character! She rocks!
Another really fun book from Pauline B Jones! Thanks Pauline!
