Trapped between survival and sacrifice, Crix and Izzy must unlock the secrets of a forgotten war and make a stand aboard a derelict starship with a weapon cobbled from ancient technology and raw desperation.
I loved this series. I'd rate it ten out of ten. It has strong family and emotional ties that weave through all.of the books. I really enjoyed flying through space with the main characters. There were problems to be solved, battles to be won and new worlds to be found. This was an adventure from start to finish. Terrific!!
I’ll keep it brief. When I came across the first book in the series I read the sample, and upon completion purchased the series. No regrets. The author Jon Kiln provides us with just enough of well, everything to keep things interesting. It’s a good, light read for young and old, and with that last, I take my leave. :-)
