Echoes of Sol #5
Lost and Found
It was supposed to be easy. They would drop down to the surface, get Bit’s niece, and return to the Lenore. What could go wrong? The answer, everything. Nothing goes smoothly for the crew of the Lenore, or at least it hadn’t since Bit joined them. Now, Jack has a crew determined to find a lost child hiding somewhere in the known galaxy. The fact the child’s location is protected by a band of violent men makes the task just that much harder.

About the author
Charissa Dufour
35 books133 followersMy journey to become a writer began in 8th grade, when I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and pulled from school to recover. During this time, I was left alone for hours on end and it was then that I discovered new friends within the pages of books. I also learned the blessing of creating my own friends by writing down the stories that plagued my lonely mind—as demented as that sounds. Therefore at the ripe age of fourteen, I wrote my first novel. It sucked! But I kept going and now I am finalizing my first indie novel, with sequels to come, and two other series along with a fiction based blog. I never imagined that first horrible novel about a man who crash landed on his long lost home world would turn into a lifelong passion.

Book 5 of The Echoes of Sol series adds more emotions and depth than the last few books. There's still tons of fast paced action and danger, but Lost and Found starts delving deeper into crew relationships and larger political issues. It's a good move for the series.
We pick up with Bit and the crew of the Lenore exactly where book 4 left off. The ship is on route to Seattle to find Bit's niece. Of course, it's not a simple task because nothing is ever simple where Bit is involved. The crew sets about catching the attention of the wrong people as soon as they debark. Bit contributes to their danger as the story progresses with her continued lack of trust. I understand why she can't trust in these men who have never given her any reason to doubt them. Every memory she has as an IS is of an owner using her, taking advantage of her or destroying her belief in humanity. That is a deeply ingrained belief and no matter how frustrating or hurtful the crew finds her behavior, she is not able to change it. She loves this crew, but is incapable of normal relationships and normal interactions. Maybe in time, she can overcome her upbringing. Odin and Jack both give in to their feelings for Bit during the action of the book, confusing her even more. One is a better fit for her at this time, but I'm not sure that everything is settled yet. It's a shame she has to choose only one. There are also multiple crew betrayals. This is the most dysfunctional family!
Once again Charissa Dufour has packed a book full of action, danger, and suspense. I loved the final part of this book. I'm interested to see how much trouble the latest addition adds to the crew. I'm also hoping for a new XO. I have never been a fan of Kat's and now even less. As always I will be eagerly awaiting the crew's next adventure!

Bit has been beaten black and blue for so long in this series that you might think she would be ready for a rest. Maybe some time sitting in her room knitting a sweater?
But of course that is not what happens. The full on action continues. She continues to get into fights with her physical enemies while fighting her own internal emotional battles. There are a few more characters, both on the good side and the bad side, that spice things up a bit. This episode also gives you a feel for what has happened to the Earth in this time which adds interest. So now on to episode 6 wondering where things will go next.

So lots of things happened in this book. We are finally on our way to find Bit's niece. Bit is still trying to find trust in her new family on the Lenore. It's not an easy thing to do with her past and of course this causes some problems. However with the amount of traitors the Lenore is accumulating it's not hard to imagine why she has such issues. Jack is trying to control his feelings and failing. Kat is a biscuit and I want to push her out of the airlock!! I'm happy with where we are at the end of this book and am looking forward to where we go next.

This is an enjoyable series; certainly plenty of action. I am amazed at the number of battles and continued survival, but it's realistic, too.
Another well-written story (despite the typos) and fast-paced. The theme of trust takes centre stage, that and love.
Bit makes choices, as do the crew, not always good ones. There is subterfuge and betrayal, secrets, mystery and misunderstandings.
Highly recommended.

Family
Family is what Bit has to accept before she can grow up. The crew is her family but old habits die hard. But brings more mayhem into the crews lives and she needs to accept they are there for her.

Everyone on board for more of the hot mess express (with a side of petty jealously from this messy RH)

Finally Bit funds her niece. I love that Odin and Bit are admitting their feelings for one another. Can't wait for next one
