The McGregor Chronicles #3
Alien Invasion
Space freighter co-captain, Matt McGregor, is worried. His father’s ship, the McGregor-7, has not returned from the Triangulum Galaxy. A cryptic message from the Federation Battle Cruiser Majestic warns of an attack and an alien virus. Matt, his bride, Tracy, along with older brother, Marc, sister, Maddie, and Federation Investigator, Jake Stevens, push their modified freighter to its limit to reach the far galaxy. Once there, they discover political intrigue, ghost ships with dead crews, a seemingly unstoppable epidemic, and an intelligent alien species. Are the aliens responsible for the virus? Can the outlawed nanomedical robots in the bodies of Matt’s crew save them? And what is the fate of his parents and their ship?

This is a fun series about a close family having adventures in space. I particularly like the medbots inside the people who talk to their host and each other, and the light love stories each book has. In Alien Invasion there is a good plot with lots of action and some famous, very appropriate, quotes to begin each chapter. This is by far the best book of the three in this series I've read. On to the next!

Alien Invasion is a wonderful addition to Collins' McGregor Chronicles.
I was privileged enough to have read this fantastic book in its beta stages and still, I am highly impressed by Larry Collins' ability to grab readers of all types while creating his fictional works.
The novel itself explores the world of a very close-knit family and their quirky, lovable medbots as the travel through space to find their missing relatives.
On the way, readers encounter a number of different, equally fascinating plot lines and character dynamics that give the book a sense of constant excitement.
Paired with the fantastical nature of the setting, the cozy romances built up throughout the story, and the unique contrast of old ideology versus futuristic, this installment to The McGregor Chronicles is sure to have something any and all readers will absolutely love reading.
