Publisher's Summary:
Three new adventures for glamorous bounty hunter Vienna Salvatori.
3.1 'Self Improvement' by Ian Potter. Doctor Ludovic Glospan has a secret. He has made a scientific discovery that could change the galaxy forever, which is why he wants to keep it out of the wrong hands. Vienna Salvatori and Jexie Reagan have been hired to keep Glospan's secret safe. On a good day that will be an easy job, but this is anything but a good day.
3.2 'Big Society' by Guy Adams. Tom McQueen is set to win The Selection and become Chairman Sweet's new business partner. Failure isn't an option. Failure is for the weak. Tom McQueen doesn't even know the meaning of the word failure. But another candidate has entered the process, a candidate by the name of Vienna Salvatori. Tom McQueen will soon learn the meaning of another word: fear!
3.3 'Impossibly Glamorous' by Steve Lyons. Vienna Salvatori used to be somebody else. She used to dream that she had an impossibly glamorous life, and then one day she met someone who made her dreams true. Now she has a new mission. She wants to help make your dreams a reality, help you become the person you always wanted to be. Even if it kills you.
Directed by Scott Handcock.
Critic Reviews:
"Vienna Salvatori is a fantastic fusion of charismatic con-woman and ruthless killing machine.... Chase Masterson is brilliant as Vienna.... Jexie played with gusto and glorious aplomb by Samantha Beart.... infused with a deliciously dark sense of humour and is, and this is the important bit, fun. And you like fun, don't you? Good. Then you'll love Vienna...." (Tim, Mass Movement)

Vienna Re-Invented Again
The last series saw Vienna re-invented and this one does as well. No longer, an assassin, she's teamed with former Police Lieutenant Jexie Regan as a security consultant. Their first grand adventure involves bioethics, reality TV, and the beauty industry. Below is a look at the individual stories:
Self Improvement: This series opens up with a story that doesnât (for once) include mind manipulation, memory boxes, and the like. Now, with Jexie Regan, Viennaâs career is defined as a freelance security expert and theyâre hired to bring the inventor of the Good Day formula and the formula itself on an undersea base on a planet guarded by killer robots.
The lab is a bit of a Brave, New World situation where humans are bred to be lab specimens for medical trials and copies are made of trial recipients. This gives a good opportunity to flesh out Vienna and Jexieâs moral compass as they are far more upset about the ethical implications than the scientist and clones involved.
Big Society: The Best Vienna story so far finds Vienna and Jexie trying to get the Good Day formula to Jonas Hall on a boom planet gone bust where the wealthy have become destitute and their homes with Sentient AIs are left to fend for themselves and many of the building make a living by killing.
As a concept, this could have easily devolved into camp silliness, particularly with the satirical elements. Instead, it's a near perfect story. The story has it's funny moments (with building talking and walking around) but it never detracts from the story.
