Sirius

Enfield Genesis #5

by Lisa Richman, M.D. Cooper

The ultimate heist...
Still reeling from the battle of Godel, Jason Andrews and the crew of the AvonVale are approached by an underground railroad, with a request they cannot deny: help a shipload of Noctus and AIs escape their oppressors in the binary system, Sirius.Can’t afford the trip? No problem. Centuries ago, the Sirian Hegemony pulled a bait-and-switch on their colonists. They offered transportation, food, and shelter to those who could not afford it. In exchange, the new colonists agreed to work off the expense of their passage.Hidden in the fine print.Generations later, indentured servitude is still being used as a convenient fiction to cover for slavery. Those in power have committed unimaginable atrocities. Conditions are worsening and deaths are escalating.It's time for this to end.Jason and the Phantom Blade team race against the clock to mask an operation of such magnitude, it spans an entire binary system. They’ll need to use every trick in the books—and master a few new ones—to pull it off.....

Wow what a great ending

Ok I love the science and I love the mystery. The characters have become important over this series ARC. What I think comes through is the AI/ Human building that sets the scene for the Orion war and Tanis involved series further along in the timelines. The scenarios in these series of books also rings very true to life with human behaviours and you imagine these are actually real life events, not imagined events set in a future that is from a collaboration of excellent writers minds. So it is quite easily 5 stars and a demand for even more from these two.

Another strong book, and after the events of book 4 in the series, it felt a little lighter in pace which was a nice change, though plenty of dark subject matter covered in this story. I liked the actions the crew were undertaking in this book, makes me think that it is how an Ocean's Eleven film would be (having never seen one of them).
Nice to see a bit more of the cats in this book too, they add another dimension and a bit of humour to the tale. All round a very good story, with a strong finish.

I really enjoyed this book! It works well as a stand-alone story as well as being a worthy finale to the Enfield Genesis arc. The characters are well developed and likable (mostly), the dialogue is crisp and realistic, the science fiction is believable, the plot is interesting and twisty, and, of course, I love the humor. I also especially love the lack of emphasis on sex, cursing, or perversion. Lisa Richman can WRITE!

A good book..

This series has stayed fresh and the final episode left me wanting more. This last one took a little while to get going but when it did it was worth the wait. I look forward to seeing whatever comes next.

A fitting end to the series.

Lisa Richman and MD Cooper have given us an exciting look at some of the events that led Terrence Enfield and Jason Andrews to the colony ship Intrepid in these five volumes! Sirius gives us a very good read and a strong end to this series.

So much

There was so much in here. Ties a lot together from the other story where Katrina came about. Just a great all around story

[Linda Lamon]

Enjoyable story, interesting science

Other than the premise that AIs can exist the stories are full of great characters and plots. I'm going tho keep reading.

Need more!

The end

The ending of one story, and a lead in to another! Hopefully we can see what happens to these characters in the years yet to come!
