Four years after the Corvou war, the battle for Humanity's future goes on.
Drew Townsend and his surviving crew are back in business, aboard a new and improved Daisy Hub and with a new mission, one that will cement Humanity's place among the stars — but it could take years to complete.
Earth Intelligence operatives have been sent to Stragon to protect the Terran colony there by heading off an impending civil war — but good and bad keep changing places, and appearances cannot be trusted.
And on Earth, the Reformation has had dangerous consequences for Barry Novak and Juno Vargas, as they struggle to neutralize an old enemy — but the truth isn't what they thought it was.
In the 25th century, the past is a puzzle, the present is a minefield … and the future is a mirror, wherein Earth's true identity lies.
Born and raised in Toronto, Arlene F. Marks found her muse at the age of 6. Her first written story was a fantasy about a tiny boy who did everything backwards and rode around on a dragonfly. She has been writing and sharing her stories ever since.
Arlene's dual passions are writing and teaching, and she has indulged them both liberally over the years, chalking up publishing credits in multiple fiction and nonfiction genres between stints in the high school classroom. She retired officially from teaching in 2012 and now devotes herself full-time to writing (and teaching writing workshops), which is keeping her even busier than she was before.
Currently working on Sic Transit Terra, a series of space opera novels set at the turn of the 25th century, Arlene F. Marks lives with her husband on the shore of Nottawasaga Bay, where she happily reads, crochets, works logic problems and collects owls of every description.
This one takes place four years after the Corvou war. Drew Townsend and what is left of his crew are back aboard a new and improved Daisy Hub with a new mission. This mission of course does not go as planned. I liked this book.
