Trystero #2
Fractured Sentinel
A bloody battle left the planet Thuul as a watery grave for human and alien alike.
For Valencia and the crew of the Trystero it was just another planet and their job was simple: retrieve some jettisoned cargo nearby and return it to their client. The simple jobs were always the ones that caused the most problems, though.
The crew of the ship that had lost the cargo? Missing. Never mind a flickering, unidentified alien vessel appeared in orbit around the watery planet Thuul and reports of ships going missing nearby.
With her crew already drifting apart and everything she's worked for hanging in the balance there's no room for mistakes. The mystery of Thuul and the flickering sentinel in orbit lead Valencia and the crew into the depths of their own minds in this psychological space adventure.

About the author
Dave Walsh
21 books87 followersDave Walsh was once the world's foremost kickboxing journalist, if that makes any sense. He's still trying to figure that one out.
The thing is, he always loved writing and fiction was always his first love. He wrote 'Godslayer' in hopes of leaving the world of combat sports behind, which, as you can guess, did not exactly work. That's when a lifelong love of science fiction led him down a different path.
Now he writes science fiction novels about far-off worlds, weird technology and the same damned problems that humanity has always had, just with a different setting.
He does all of this while living in the high desert of Albuquerque and raising twin boys with his wife. He's still not sure which is harder: watching friends get knocked out or raising boys.

This series is filled with action, and this book takes it to a completely different level. I really enjoyed the twists and turns of this story.

Are you looking for an absolute mind-trip of a sci-fi novel that bends reality and exceeds your expectations as a reader? That's what Dave Walsh's "Fractured Sentinel" does. Following up on the heels of Broken Ascension, Drake Rose's arc as a crew member of a salvage vessel continues.
We get an intriguing plot--the recovery of a mysterious piece of cargo. Also a unique story told from Drake and The Captain's viewpoints. Action is fast-paced and each chapter ends on a good cliffhanger that makes me keep reading.
Without spoiling major plot details, there is also some humor about spirituality and the concept of greater beings. Favorite parts are the philosophy of knowing there is more to the world and not quite seeing it--like The Matrix.
Check this out if you want a fun read in a very cool series.
