Refugee alien family Captain O'Ryan with his kids Slugger, Scout, and Flint have been on the hunt for his missing wife since the giant showdown on Earth against the forces of evil and the kids finding sapphire weapons that seem to point to them being the 3 children of prophecy. All that's great, but it hasn't helped them find their mother. They've been scouring star system after star system and everyone is starting to lose hope. But when Flint notices a repeated name in his library books and Scout has a dream about her mom and the same name, the family decides to take note and seek out this Luminar. Could this person finally have information about their missing family member? Of course, little do they know that there's a lot more going on on this planet and agents of the enemy are everywhere.

Well that didn't go as planned. Everyone's on a cliff hanging by their fingernails. I need to order book 3 pronto. This is no way to leave the O'Ryan family. There are some interesting developments. And I liked exploring strange new planets with the family and how they each have their unique jobs and talents for planetary exploration and the hunt for their mother. They've also each crafter unique cool rooms on the ship for themselves. But they're also all sad and show it in different ways, and the kids are still mourning Robin Hood too. Fuller balanced character development, world building, and plot building well. This didn't suffer from the sophomore slump of some series. But I really, really do need the next book and so will most readers.

Notes on content:
Language: None
Sexual content: None
Violence: There are several perilous circumstances and close calls from hostile alien encounters and daring actions, but everyone ends up mostly ok with the help of futuristic medical tech.
Ethnic diversity: Everyone in the book is an alien.
LGBTQ+ content: None specified.
Other: The O'Ryans meet someone who seems friendly but turns out to be a saboteur and spy. At one point the sewage system on the ship gets messed up and it gets a bit gross for a minute.

a decent continuation of the series but confused me to the targeted audience as it is on the long side for the young that the language is for but the content skips themes that the parent would resonant with.
