𝑴𝒚 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘: I love reading Science fictions so I picked the book 'The Map' written by David Charles. It is the first book in the Edwina Chronicles Series. Captain Ashley Odessa Cumberge stolen the top-secret project along with his dog Nugget by visiting Secretum planet.
Cumberge was the best asset during the war. He has won every war but during the final year of his campaign when he was stationed on the planet Priam Prime, he received suicidal orders and therefore betrayed the direct orders of the High Command. Since Cumberge alone has won the last battle, so he wasn't supposed to be punished for commiting treason.
The story was fast paced so I didn't felt bored anytime while reading it. I really liked Nugget, the dog of Cumberge. It was an adventurous read for me. The world building is amazing and interesting. Storyline is gripping and I couldn't put the book down until I finished it. I can't wait to read the next book in the series.
