Chasing Redemption
A tragic collision. Twelve lives lost. The wreckage of a history-making space vessel lies scattered across the moon's surface. Captain Ben Wildes, the pioneer of Saturn, and a rising star in the Earth Space Defense force, is found negligent after a deeply politicized trial.
A year later, Ben receives a surprising opportunity to redeem his suspended career. He's provisionally reinstated to investigate the fate of a missing commercial space mining vessel last reported an area that's perilously close to a sensitive territorial line. The incident requires a careful, firsthand investigation. Corroboration of an attack could easily breach long-standing treaties between two superpowers, which would lead to war.
As the mission unfolds, Ben uncovers shocking secrets with alarming ramifications, and quickly learns that chasing redemption is far more perilous than he ever anticipated.

Didn't really get into until about a third of the way through, but then I couldn't put it down!

Author's exclusive interview: http://sukriti810.blogspot.com/2016/0...
STAR RATING: 4/5
DESCRIPTION IN ONE LINE: A tale of twists and faith.
Title: Redemption might mean different things to different people. Here it reflects that someone is going to run for it in order to finally be at peace. The title is intriguing and makes me wonder how was the author actually able to pick it from the endless possibilities.
Title Rating: 4/5
Cover: Time and again people say not to judge a book by it's cover, but it does play an important role in the overall appeal of the book. The cover beautifully does justice to the outer space journey and makes one wonder what places the author's imagination is going to take us through the journey.
Cover Rating: 4/5
Characters: Ben: Captain Wildes is the main character who takes this journey to come out of the shadow of his treacherous past. His character begins as a little skeptical and opportunist in the beginning considering his previous public failure.

Capt Ben Wilder was suspended after a collision where he was found negligent. He's being offered the opportunity to redeem his career. Is it real?
Chasing Redemption reminded me of Star Trek. It took me a moment to get into it. Once things started rolling, I enjoyed it. The twists really pull you away from the drawn out areas.

Fast moving well thought out sci fi novel with plenty of twists. The characters are realistic, interesting, and engaging. The imagery is clear. Beware this book, as it will grab you firmly and not let go!
