Sons of the Starfarers #4
Friends in Command
THE FUTURE OF THE OUTWORLDS NOW LIES IN UNCERTAIN HANDS.
The war for the Outworlds is on. The Imperials may have lost the first round, but they're back—and this time, a ragtag flotilla isn't going to stop them.
When Aaron recieves a captain's commission in the new Outworld Confederacy, Mara is his natural choice for second in command. But Mara never expected to live past the first few battles. She only joined the resistance to avenge her father, and fears the monster she's starting to become. The only thing she has left to live for now is her friends.
The Imperials aren't the only enemy in this war, though. The friends must face a threat from within.

Friends in Command continues with brother Aaron and fellow Deltan Mara are struggling to make sense of their lives after the Battle of Colkhia where Aaron's brother Isaac disappeared and Mara dealing with her cold blooded murder of the man that ordered the death of her father. The resistance is in disarray and the Fourth Platoon was on the verge of being disbanded. Aaron was given command on a new frigate and requests Mara as his XO and they are sent out to the far outworld to watch for an expected attack from the Imperials. But Aaron's concern is on finding his brother, and in the process he and his crew find evidence of treachery in a group that has joined the alliance and Aaron soon finds himself fighting to literally maintain his sanity.
Very good read. I enjoy the story line, I wish the books were longer but it is still an enjoyable story.
Highly recommended read.
