The Lost Archive #2
Archipelago
The Uran war machine has awoken and is scenting new prey. They have taken the ice-moon Jar’Frir. Where will they go next? The One-Eyed King? Possibly even Terra?
Sage-Instruct Qira, searching for her vanished lover, Nessum, treks deep into the dangerous archipelago of the Uran colonies as they muster for war. Here, amid the gene-tampered monstrosities and vine-cable infrastructure, she finds him. But it seems he has been busy and is in no hurry to leave. As she digs deeper, Qira discovers the truth of the Uran’s recent rise to power and Nessum’s part in it.
Meanwhile, the Olattim commander, Ivilga, is leading her Recon squad through the backwaters of the Uran system, on a mission from her superiors in the Defence Forces. Fighting her way through the orbiters and training grounds of the feared Uran Troopers, she finds herself facing something darker than she could ever imagine.
Together, both must face their deepest fears, and make painful decisions that could impact the fate of the system.

Only the second in this cracking series - and even better than the first.
Some great ideas, beautifully realised, and it's great to be able to see the characters grow.
Byford is painting a fascinating and colourful universe, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it develops.
Often intense, some dry humour - it's been hard to put it down.
