EP. #2 "Higher"
A rain-soaked colony. A lawman with a secret. A prisoner without a body.
Tamra and Jax are captives on Miduri, where the peacekeeper, Tovin, keeps order—and keeps secrets.
Beneath his greenhouse, Tovin hides an underground facility and the digital mind of a man he's holding for answers. Only one colonist, Briar, suspects the truth—and nobody believes him.
When Tamra and Jax escape, they become fugitives. With Tovin and all his android deputies on their trail, they flee into the wild forest beyond Miduri.
But while Tovin is distracted, his digital prisoner breaks free and seizes control of the facility. Now Tamra, Jax, and Briar have no choice but to ally with the peacekeeper in order to escape a far deadlier threat.
There's no safe place left on Miduri. The only way out is higher

It started out really good.
Then it developed multiple storylines. Some weaved in and out, others appeared separate. It was really hard at times to follow all the lines. But then, maybe it is just me. This appears not to be part of the long running series Ryk Brown has written. More of a side story.

Thank God that’s Over …
I know Mr Brown does space opera …
But that was like a child’s story of tragedy where nothing goes right for the heroes …
They hardly slept, fed, hydrated or had any time of respite, just one pending disaster to another …
Horrible two books, never again please Mr Author as these two books were your worst ever …

Not a good read at all
I think Ryk Brown needs to write on his own all his books have been very good indeed this book is awful.

The story is starting to make sense
Ideally the developments in this book start to bring back more of the characters from the original storyline. Reasonably well paced.

great addition
Great addition to the frontiers Saga world. First week started all slow, but this book was phenomenal from the start.

Worth it!!
A good read for fans of the Frontiers Saga. Relevant to the main storyline and fast paced space saga fun.
