Science Fiction Romance
It has been a long five-year wait for the start of a new
series by Grant. It is a very good
story with great characters. One,
Prince Klark, is a carry over from her Star series and another, Jemm Ave, is
brand new. I loved how Klark was
trying to bring honor to his family after his actions in a previous book did
the reverse. Jemm is perfect in
the role of a very strong woman who is working hard to help her family. The world building is very good and
back-story for Jemm is spot on. My
only complaint - It has been a
long time since I read the Star series and the back-story for Klark is based on
that series and I had forgotten a lot about what he did. It does work as a stand-alone and has
numerous hooks for future books set in the Star World Frontier.
Star Nomad: Fallen Empire, Book 1 by Lindsay Buroker
Science Fiction/Space Opera
Star Nomad sets the stage and introduces the cast of
characters in the series. Each
character is set on his or her own agenda and joins Alex Marchenko as she sets
out to steal a dilapidated ship from the junkyard where it has been for
years. Alex’s goal is the one
central theme in the series. She
needs to find her daughter and start a new life. Of course the goals of her passengers are making that
hard. Look for great characters, interesting
back-story, and a multi-layered plot
that will keep you reading. There
is also the hint of a future romance between Alex and one of her passengers.
Honor’s Flight: Fallen Empire Book 2 by Lindsay Buroker
Space Opera/Science Fiction
Book two of the Fallen Empire sees Alex and her passengers
arriving at Perun to collect Alex’s daughter. As you might expect that goal runs into trouble. The daughter has been kidnapped by the
Starseers. Finding her daughter
is still the main theme but the goals of the other passengers being more
trouble and danger to everyone. Honor’s Flight keeps the story moving while
adding to the back-story of several of the passengers.
Starseers: Fallen Empire, Book 3 by Lindsay Buroker
Science Fiction/Space Opera
Book three and this is not a trilogy. There is more to come
after this book. Alex is still
trying to find her daughter and ends up in more and more danger. As if that is not enough the goal of
one of her passengers leads to addition danger for everyone. We learn more
about the separate goals of each character while adding to the world and
character building. I borrowed
this on Amazon. I had
forgotten that I could borrow one book a month with my Prime membership. This is a fun series to read and I am looking forward to the next book as Alex continues her quest to find her daughter.
