For Curtis Walker, being chief of security on Dark Landing means fighting boredom and feigning integrity. Caught in a quagmire he created, his greater struggle now is survival. That's an ambitious goal since he can't tell his friends from his enemies, and the evil alien blackmailing him can assume any form. Forced to team up with his reluctant assistant, the station's irksome new chief of administration, and the runaway son of an heiress, Curtis discovers that only one of them is who they claim to be.
Old comrades rush to his aid but rescue offers no guarantee of survival.
In Mass Primary, book two of the Dark Landing Series, the characters you loved in Transmuted return to play a deadly and sometimes humorous game of "Who's Rescuing Who?" Morals and motives are tested, and loyalties shift with each new plot revelation.
Babylon 5 meets Firefly: Like book one, book two of the Dark Landing space adventure series is jam-packed with action and humor.
Robin Praytor spent her corporate days drafting legal documents and creating training materials. To distract from the deadlines and to-do lists that kept her awake at night, she invented complex and quirky stories that demanded written versions. Thus, her debut novel, TRANSMUTED (a KindleScout winner), finally saw daylight, to be followed by MASS PRIMARY, the second book in the Dark Landing science fiction series.
Managing Editor of Post-To-Print Publishers, Robin splits her time between her publishing duties and writing. Post-To-Print Publishers released their first book, FROM A CAT'S VIEW, at the end of 2018, and FROM A CAT'S VIEW VOL. II in October 2019. Each anthology volume contains 18 mixed-genre stories written by the cats who lived them (with the assistance of some very talented authors).
A Michigan native, Robin now lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with her patient and long-suffering husband. She is a card-carrying geek and Comicon aficionado, with a penchant for science fiction and the paranormal.
But I skimmed the last third of the book because the body count was too high for me. The worldbuilding is excellent, the non-human sapients are fascinating, and the story is compelling. There is a little too much horror for me, although the humor and Toby helped make the book memorable.
