The Dave Travise Series #2
Freefall
Can you ever forget, when everything makes you remember? Dave Travise is a man with a past. And the way things are going; he might not have much of a future. All he really wants to do is forget, but he's reminded about what he has lost at every turn. His life is in a rut, until the day the person he was expecting to see isn’t there, because she’s dead. He finds out that she had a secret. Then, when he investigates, he’s warned to keep his nose out. Does he listen? Or could this be the adventure he’s been looking for? As he gets more involved, his world turns upside down. Events take control of his life, and before he knows how he’s at the centre of a Galaxy-wide conspiracy.
Dave is pursued by those in power, desperate to keep what he knows a secret.
The biggest secret of all time. "FREEFALL is a rattling good adventure story, with a few unexpected twists, good characters and plenty of action." "Freefall is so immersive and richly described I immediately entered the action."

A galactic adventure you will want to read again and again!
After reading ‘Myra’ and loving it - I took ‘Freefall’ as my holiday read and boy was I glad I did. Written in first person narrative I explored the galaxy, saw new planets, escaped peril and felt every emotion of Captain Dave Travise. Freefall is so immersive and richly described I immediately entered the action and felt as if I was living within the story.
Haunted by the past Dave Travise finds himself caught up in a few sticky situations with some questionable acquaintances as he joins the quest for truth. Every galactic aspect is plausible and all the characters are so well drawn I couldn’t help but care about them and their plight. I feel Myra and Freefall really lends itself to be a movie or TV series – a bit like a galactic Indiana Jones.
Richard Dee has become one of my all-time favourite authors as his incredible talent for storytelling is captivating.

There's not mush to add. You can see the plot twists about 25 pages out. ...the characters on simple but interesting, the description is good....its fun.
The main character is no Liam Hoffen, but he's not too bad

Following the rollercoaster ride that is Myra, the first book in the Dave Travise series, Freefall wonderfully picks up the narrative. It continues to build on the drama seen in book one while also adding depth and layers to the series.
Following the heartbreak and chaos Dave experiences in Myra, he strikes out in book two in an effort to go on with life. Things are tough, but he tries to pick up jobs and make a living as best he can. Though somehow, he finds himself right in the middle of big trouble that has massive implications for all involved.
Freefall definitely feels a different novel compared to Myra. Where the first book had a large swell of hope that latterly is dashed, this is altogether darker from the start. It’s a gritty ride through the galaxy. Between the drive to make a living and to uncover the secrets that have wormed their way into Dave’s life, Freefall is a rollercoaster ride with some incredible reveals. It’s well written, it’s gritty and it’s a fun read packed with plausible sci-fi that I’ve come to expect from Richard Dee.
