SuperVirus

The Ani Maxima Files #2

by Scott McElhaney

Never send a mission report back to your home world unless you’re certain that your home world is still populated by human beings.
Nearly a hundred years after they left Earth, the crew of the USS Cepheus has arrived at their new home in the Eta Cassiopeia system. This was only after they rescued the beautiful and oddly talented Ani Maxima from her three hundred year imprisonment aboard the USS Ptolemy.

The life of a start-up colony on a distant world is quite busy, but they manage to find time for fun and for each other. Ani Maxima’s super-ability to control technology with merely her thoughts doesn’t serve much purpose for a farmer, however she can still reprogram spy satellites without losing track of her current conversation.

Then the ships start to arrive, and although these are coming from Earth, they aren’t of human origin. They are searching for a ship that disappeared a couple days prior, only they don’t realize that the ship was vaporized by a blonde farmer with supernatural talents. How can Ani go up against a whole armada however when their antiviral technologies evolve so rapidly that she can barely get started before she’s detected. And just because she’s not physically on those enemy ships doesn’t mean that she can’t be killed.

Reviews

[Wendy Rees · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best things about this book? We get to see the world through Ani Maxima's eyes. Unlike the first story which is told from Gunner's perspective, Ani is the protagonist and the one telling the story. This takes place 17 days after they arrived on Cassiopeia and gives a beautiful insight into their lives, relationships, and her ongoing struggles with being classified as a child. This has far more action and danger than the first book. Highly recommended. Hope there is more to come

[Clara Butcher · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read and excellent follow-up to Ptolemy's Child. This time it's told from Ani's perspective, so we get to see what it's like to fight against her terrors as well as how she truly feels about being a child trapped in the body of an adult. I really love her relationship with her "parents" and would liked to have seen this book be longer. I definitely hope this continues because there's so much more opportunity with a new colony on an already inhabited world.

[Jason Rather · Rating 5 out of 5]

Shorter than the first book, but I enjoyed it even more than the first book. Ptolemy's Child was understandably longer due to all the introductions and setting the scene. This book dives right into the toils of a new colony as well as the dangers. I recommend reading Ptolemy's Child first if you haven't yet because that builds your love for these characters.
