I read In Enemy Hands when it was released. It was an excellent story but the
ending left a lot up in the air.
Balance of Terror finishes the story. It has been awhile since In Enemy Hands so the author
included a full synopsis of In Enemy Hands at the beginning of Balance of
Terror. You could just read that
and be somewhat up to speed but I recommend reading In Enemy Hands first.
Here is the Blurb from the book:
Save one
man? Or save billions? It’s Moon’s choice.
Stellar physicist Moon
Thadin and amnesiac savant Srin
Flerovs are on their way to possible sanctuary with an old research partner of
Moon’s. But between them and safety lie a cunning arms dealer, a suspicious
pirate captain, and a universe of unfamiliarity.
Refusing to turn her
research into a weapon, Moon and Srin outran the Republic in IN ENEMY HANDS, only to find that the
anti-Republic rebels they’re heading for want her knowledge for the same
reason, and they’re willing to trade critical gene therapy for it. Withhold the
therapy and Srin will die. Share the research and billions will die.
Can the needs of one ever
truly outweigh the needs of many?
While that lets you know what Moon and Srin’s choices are
the outcome is not what you might expect.
With the help of a friend there is a HEA for Moon and Srin. The story follows an interesting path. There are obstacles, new characters
and several characters from another book.
All in all I found the story and the ending very satisfying. Look for something different that
allows Moon and Srin to have their HEA.
Those characters from another story; Moon and Srin run across Quinton from Quinton’s Story. I wondered if we would get the sequel
to two stories in one but that didn't happen. Augustin promises the next chapter of Quinton’s Story
sometime in 2013. I will be
looking for it to be published.
If you are a Science Fiction Romance fan you do not want to miss either of Moon and Srin's books. In fact look up KS Augustin to see her other SFR books. They are all worth reading.
Sandal Press published Balance of Terror by KS Augustin in
2012.
