Reviews

[Jas · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is what I have come to expect from Tony Healey - A great fast paced action story along the lines of Star Trek or Babylon 5. It's a lot of fun, with great characters, an interesting plot that continues on over this novella from the last.
This one sees the crew chasing the Namarian's - mainly Cessqa - after she has escaped back to the Enigma, after having killed several crew.
It was kind of reminiscent of Wrath of Khan - 2 ships chasing each other through space - one out gunned and then hiding in a Nebular for a final show down. Although it was similar - it was still well written with great descriptions of the battle scenes.
My only criticism would be that some of the dialogue was a bit too 'over the top' in its dramatic nature with the relationship side of things.
However, as I have said in other reviews - this kind of makes it more like a Next Gen episode of Trek - and it doesn't really detract from the overall enjoyment of what is a great easy read.
This is something to pick up after a hard day and you want to have a bit of escapism and just relax and enjoy and Tony Healey consistently delivers a fantastic series for this.
Great Job again - can't wait to read the next ones.
