CS-405 #2

by Blaze Ward

At Laptev the crew of CS-405 stole enough food to make it home if they wanted. But a bigger question looms.

What does Buran do with all the prisoners captured over the decades? Phil Kosnett and his crew demand answers. And they won’t let a little thing like being a barely-armed scout stop them from taking the war to Buran.

Part of the Alexandria Station universe and the CS-405 trilogy, this sequel to Queen Anne’s Revenge takes you into the heart of Buran’s deepest secrets. And the warriors of CS-405 who won’t back down.

Also be sure to pick up the other novels in the Queen Anne’s Revenge and Persephone.

Reviews

[Tony Hisgett · Rating 3 out of 5]

I had some slight concerns before starting the book, I liked the idea of turning to piracy for the resources needed to get home, I even thought causing some chaos while doing this sounded fun, but I really didn’t get starting a farm behind enemy lines.
The further into the book the more the author seemed to be reverting to type; it became too long-winded with overly detailed descriptions rather than getting on with the story. In the end it wasn’t a bad story, but it could have been so much better.

Liked the 2nd in the series better, and looking forward to the 3rd.

Great improvement

I truly enjoyed this story. Literally could not put it down until I finished the story. Much better characters and well thought out progression of the theme. I am still underwhelmed by the overly detailed sexual pieces. A loves b and they share a sleeping accommodation is sufficient for me. Details be your that can be filled in by my imagination as needed. No I am Nat a fan or the current state of Harlingen romances being necessary for sales.

The author has a strong story line and skillfully adds characters as needed to advance the series. Blaze has a winner here.
