Ep.#3 - "When Many Become One"
The Free Fleet gave them a ship. Barely.
The Astra Nullus is an ugly, cobbled-together salvage hauler with three mismatched computer systems and a bad habit of making hard landings. Aboard is Tovin, the man who built the Leviathan facility before it was stolen from him. Now he's going back to take it over, with Tamra, Jax, Briar, and their glitching AI, Alice.
Before they can take back Tovin’s work, they must build a believable cover story and pray that the ship--and the crew--holds together long enough for them to make the journey to Miduri.
Winning won’t be easy against an enemy who commands an army of loyal soldiers. The crew’s efforts are complicated by the actions of a spiteful rival captain with a grudge who is pursuing Tamra across the cosmos.
Success isn't just about finishing the job--it is about coming together in order to survive.

Thrill Ride
Motley crew tries to infiltraight the Jung ship build site and doesn’t quite succeed but does obtain some data that can be useful. Getting done with the mission required some innovative actions to survive. A
L in all it adds to the main thread Ryk has laid out in the last book. Many questions remain Tovin has some explaining to do, like why is the shield and weapons tech so much better than everybody else’s.

Don’t waste your time
Not well written. I have read all of Ryk’s books and was always excited to get into them and involved thru ought. This on was not well written, it wanted me to stop and thru it away. But I couldn’t believe anything with Ryk Bowns name would be so bad.

Found it's footing
This has become a fine parallel storyline to the main Frontiers thread. I have come to appreciate the characters and am as invested in their arc as much as I am the main plot line. Well written and fun to read. Nicely done, looking forward to the next.
