"The Decalon Trap" is the third novel in the author's Fesarius series of science fiction books. The author has reimagined the Star Trek universe by adding elements of Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica, a sprinkling of The Orville and a boatload of common sense. The Discovery Channel, The History Channel, National Geographic are also represented and military accuracy has been augmented to provide a read that is both comfortably familiar yet completely new.
After the horrors witnessed at the Tombstone system (see book two, The Murdered World), Admiral Iwo of Starbase Relay believes starship Fesarius needs a light and easy milk run mission. Just a simple exploratory mission of a small solar system to help the crew get their mental faculties back in check. Instead, Fesarius discovers an 800-year-old alien ship crashed on one of the outer planets. That ship was shot down for reasons unknown, by a people unknown. They also discover a society with a primitive spaceflight ability hellbent on setting a trap for the starship so they can retrofit their FTL Drive technology to plunder the galaxy like space-traveling pirates. Who shot down that ship on the fourth planet? Will Fesarius prevail against her attackers? The answers to these questions and more are found within the pages of "The Decalon Trap."
Born in 1960, Mr Adams has been writing fiction since 1993 when his mother gave him an obsolete computer. After a nine-year hiatus, he has returned to the publishing world and began releasing his works through the KDP program on Amazon. Mr Adams had twenty-one novels live at the moment with more to come.
I think this one might be my favorite yet! The maknu........oh boy! They are an interesting bunch! lol. Even if you arent into sci-fi (I'm not) these books are still worth checking out! You will get hooked!
The world building is good, the crew of the Fesarius is great, and the story is a fast, fun read. The adventures of the Fesarius remind me of the science fiction books I read as a kid.
Another exciting Mission with Captain Adams and his crew of the Starship Fesarius. Highly recommend this series to all fans of Star Trek and other shows of the genre
