This book was definitely one to savour.
While getting ready for the final showdown with Amroth and Malleghan, Bentley is getting herself ready to do what's necessary to to save both Humankind, and the Android race.
Unfortunately, on their way to Dracon Space Station, the Chesed is attacked and takes some damage, so the crew has to limp along to a closer Station, to get fixed up.
While there, Bentley takes the opportunity to contact Blackfriar, to garner his help in the coming confrontation. Shango is angered by this, but honesty makes him realise that they need the help, and so the crew of the Chesed, the remnants of the Android ation, and the Freedom Fighters, join together once more, to fight for their very survival!
This was another very involving book, although the ending was a total surprise, which has left me eager to go on to book seven: Kansas - the final book of the series!
So without ado, I'll leave you here, and go search through my kindle for it - and I'll see you on the flip side, to let you know my reaction to this last book, and the whole series, in completion!

A Little Less Conversation
A little more action please…Too much talking—the style of speech is overly wordy, especially in the middle of action scenes. It gets clunky and loses momentum. I find that some of the main characters lack depth and are therefore hard to like. Using “began to” and repeating adjectives like “calm” in the series sounds amateurish. I’m sorry, but you’re losing me. I tried.

A Plan Comes Together...Sorta
The group of allies is growing. The Chesed, the Rebels and the Androids go up against Amroth and LaPlace to keep the new mind control chip from being rolled out. No spoilers here. But there are many bodies and Bentley takes a side trip. Next book please!!

Storm
The series takes an unexpected turn when several factions unite in a common cause. Bentley begins to fulfill her potential and the story enters a strange new world. This episode is fast paced and immersive. I greatly enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Wonderful story
So close to getting both Amroth and Magellan. Where are Bentley and Amroth, will she find him? This is getting more exciting every story. The crew of the Chessed has really helped as a crew. Waiting impatiently for the next book.

More action!
Another exciting telling in Bentley’s story, ending on a cliffhanger! The series has been very enjoyable, and Ell continues to deliver. I’m looking forward to the next book.
