The Martian Alliance #3
A Bug's Life

The crew of the Hummingbird find the remains of a shattered generations ship from the Pillar, a seemingly benign alien race persecuted by the current galaxy's rulers. The resident shapeshifter discovers that the Pillar are empaths in their child state and seeks to protect the few remaining children from destruction. Another nice entry in this short series, but again it would have been better as a more flushed out novel.

I am looking forward to reading a full length book on the martian alliance chronicles one day.

This was a nice, quick read. It's my favorite of the series so far. I love all the crew members and I really like that for such a short read you never know what to expect and there are tons of twists and turns to
Keep you guessing as to what will happen next.
While thus is apart of a series, it can be read as a standalone.
