I'm always delighted when a new Parker Interstellar Travels book is released. They're fun, escapist, somewhat retro space opera, without the uncomfortable racism, sexism, or "how come they can cross space but have such abysmal comms tech?" of actual 50s SF. They're not hard SF - you'll find all the FTL travel and force shields you want here - but the fictional science is used consistently. And the aliens are great - very much not Humans With Bumpy Foreheads.
If you've read this far in the series, you'll certainly read this one too, so my review is superfluous, but here goes. But the ending put a smile on my face, and the title of the next book in the series suggests that the team will be once again heading out into the Black to make first contact with a new alien species. Huzzah!

Excellent addition to the series with the very different parts
The first part of this book is a little bit tougher than the rest: there are basically the distinct parts of which the second and third part are very enjoyable. As usual the alien species and their guardians are well described and the "battles" are detailed. I would have enjoyed more details about the outcomes but that could have slowed down the pace too. I will probably read the next book.
