About this listen

A chilling revelation about a forgotten Earth threatens the entire galaxy....

Held captive by Dark Horse Company, Captain Axel Finn is faced with a mission to humanity’s ancestral home after all contact with the planet is lost. Learning his mother might be hiding there, Axel agrees to help his adversaries, and deploy on Vengeance, the last Steward ship. But his decision might lead to his downfall if the Wrath have already arrived on Earth.

On the treacherous Wooly planet of Dari, bounty hunter Rangnar Soki becomes the prey, finding himself the target in a deadly game of survival. His path to rejoin Axel’s crew hinges on passing a test of Dari’s most revered guardian. Meanwhile, the surviving crew of the Trash Squid faces their own struggles to repair their damaged ship and leave Dari to find Captain Finn.

At the Citadel, Sergeant Jax Brito returns from her harrowing mission on Corinnia after drilling into a construct brimming with alien embryos. This grim discovery sends shockwaves through the CANDF ranks, and reality dawns on them all: The countdown to the Wrath invasion was wrong; it has already started, and no part of the galaxy is safe.

With an NSS book you expect certain things, lots of action being one of the most prominany features and indeed when had that in Book 1, but not so much in book 2. This was unusual in that I found it to be a lot more about plot development, and to a lesser extent, character development that it was about handing out owies and boo boo's, and I liked it.

This new Galaxy is a complex one with many great races in it and of course history spanning hundreds of years from the Earth we know so there has to be time given over to getting the reder up to speed and whilst in the first book this was done at the start, and which I found a little boring, the second books does a much ebtter job and covers a lot more whilst keeping the book fun and interesting. It also gives me hope for future books, many future books, as what we have now cannot be properly wrapped up in a third and final book.

So looking forward to book 3, more owies and boo boo's, and what the new parts of the galaxy we are about to encouter.

A change of pace, which made it interesting
