Science Fiction
From Goodreads:
BOOK ONE
IN A BRAND NEW SERIES by Nebula and Hugo Award Winner Catherine Asaro set in
the world of her Skolian Empire universe. In the galaxy-spanning future, Major
Bhaajan is a tough female P.I. who works the dangerous streets of Undercity.
Major Bhaajan, a former military
officer with Imperial Space Command, is now a hard-bitten P.I. with a load of
baggage to deal with, and clients with woes sometimes personal, sometimes galaxy-shattering,
and sometimes both. Bhaajan must sift through the shadows of dark and dangerous
Undercity—the enormous capital of a vast star empire—to find answers.
I look for any book released by
Catherine Asaro and the universe she created for the Skolian Empire is one of
my favorites. Undercity is a new
series set in that universe. I
loved the book and how Asaro tied it to the previous books in the series.
Undercity is filled with great new
characters and several interlocking plots. Everything is set in a world that adds a new dimension to
the world building in the Skolian Empire.
There are three books in Undercity. Book One is a previously published novella that introduces
Major Baahjan and the planet where the story is set. It is set in a time before many of the other books in the
series. Each of the books that
follow build on everything introduced in Book One.
Undercity is a well written
interesting Science Fiction story.
It will stand alone and is a good introduction to the Skolian Empire
books for anyone who has not read the series. I look forward to the next book in the series and hope there
be more than one.
Baen published Undercity by
Catherine Asaro in 2014.
I received an ARC of Undercity from
Netgalley in return for an honest review.
I also purchased a copy when I bought Baen’s monthly bundle for Dec.
2014.
