Courin, a planet within the Asterion empire, is at war. The evil sclithe seek complete dominion and will enslave the inhabitants of all the worlds they find if left unchecked. After their daring raid into the heart of Sarpien territory, the West Sector Predgarians attempt to fit back into their normal routines. They see almost immediately that this might be an impossible task with Jay Morgan and Karen Fireirro living under their roof. As Jay tries to come to terms with his new life and his great power, there seems no end to Karen's problems and the secrets she keeps and all the while, the Red Jackal prowls, seeking vengeance. Predgarians Book 2 - Mind Games, picks up the story from the first book Jackal's Gambit by acclaimed fantasy author C.A. Ardron.
Second book in the Predgarians series, which introduces a familiar cast with a new twist. Seriously, the extent of Jackal's pettiness knows no bounds. The novel is peppered with action and fight scenes, then culminates with one epic battle royale as its finale. Personally haven't read a book that keeps such a ferocious pace while also promising good pacing between character development and combat. A rarity, and very enjoyable. I've got book 3 and 4 on my reading list, and looking forward to seeing more of this cast. (Dove is my favorite.)
