Kylie's mission is over and she's ready to take a long vacation.
Her enemies, however, have other plans.
After an uneventful return to Silstrand Alliance space, Kylie is ready to finally move on. She has but two tasks left: deliver her brother to the authorities and testify at his trial. Tempering those somber duties are happy reunions with old and new friends as Kylie readies herself to end this chapter of her life.
But once Paul is on Silstrand's soil an attack on his life proves that not everyone is ready to move on. Some want their pound of flesh, others don’t want him to talk, and a shadowy figure has their sights on revenge.
With everyone Kylie cares about together once again together means that the danger is amplified and the risks increase. It's up to Kylie and the crew of the Barbaric Queen to find out who is really behind the attacks and wade through a battlefield of fire and blood to finally get their answers.
Great dialogue; wonderful characters; good story! And there’s a CAT! Unfortunately, it’s not a stand-alone book. I can’t imagine trying to understand what is going on without reading previous volumes first.
After the 1st Arc it seemed we had seen and done everything but changing dynamics have made this a surprisingly revival and although this doesn't approach the levels of anticipation that Tanis, Rika or Sabrina levels this makes for a solid 5 stars of constant page turning and a welcome familial warmth.
As we move back to 'home turf' as such, still plenty of suspense, action and also an emotional roller coaster. The characters are in fine form as always, but it also impresses me how much more mature the characters are in themselves and in their relationships, I do enjoy watching characters grow during a series. A very good story, and I look forward to seeing what happens next.
Mister Fizzle Pop (the augmented, talking cat) figures a lot in this book, and lends a little fun to the dark atmosphere of Paul's trial and the bounty on Kylie 's head.
Some characters we thought were gone return. As usual, Cooper gives us twists and turns, and ties up a lot of loose ends. What a surprise ending! Read this great book and enjoy the ride.
Yet again another great read in this series of excellent books. There is a few unexpected plots with in this one, and recommend anyone picking this book up, start at the beginning you will love the ride.
Great characters with realistic situations and lots of action and adventure. Characters that you can care about whether they are human or not. I'm addicted to this universe and enjoying all the different storylines. I look forward to more from this series 😁
