Sane Grace
In the year 2054, earth has become an inter-galactic outpost for trade among friendly planets.
The potential rewards in this new era are great, but so are the risks. An alien drug called Fellirex has recently saturated the black market. It's cheap and highly addictive, and in few weeks, half the world's population could become addicts.
From across the globe, the world's finest are gathered to end the smuggling of this drug. Lieutenant Wolfe, a young and attractive special operations officer, seems completely out of place among the heroes and decorated veterans.
Much to the frustration of her commanding officer, she is given an assignment, and her teammate is almost immediately, critically wounded. A detective takes a chance and volunteers to team up with the seemly erratic young woman. However, it is not long before he questions that decision.
Trapped on a wild and hazardous journey across the globe and into space itself, the detective realizes Grace may not be who he thought she was. In fact, Grace herself appears to question her true intentions and motives.

I started reading this book thinking I might read a chapter or two, but, wow, I just could not put it down. It's an easy read, full of action and is also fast paced. Oh and did I mention a lot of laughs along the way? Great story and writing. I'm looking forward to reading more from Mr. Phipps.

I’m probably one of the big fans of Oliver’s works! I mean how can you not be? When he brings you something incredible every time he publishes a new book? And let’s be honest, every time he tries to go into a new direction, and every time it’s something marvelous!
But let’s move to the books itself, shall we? If you’re a fan of sci-fi buckle up, and let’s get this show rolling! You’re in it for some amazing characters! Especially lieutenant Wolfe! She was my soul mate! (No exaggeration here!) she screamed a fantastic character right from the beginning, and she never disappointed me, okay, wrong, the story ended, and i was disappointed, (so i shout out to my fellow fans and Oliver, let’s give our favourite character another scene to shine!!!) (i think i’m getting off track here...)
So in short, (because if in long, it’s better i make a video review, so you can hear me rant for hours) Sane Grace is a phenomenal book, full of amazing humor, amazing writing and plot twists (i still hate how someone became such a wuzz (no spoilers, so i’m not saying any names)), character development and a story that captivates you from the first page and never lets you go!
Ready for a journey of your life? In this COVID filled world where you can’t travel? Then this book is what you need! Get transported through space and time to solve a mystery and a case, which may not be as straightforward as it seems!
P.S. fellow fans, let’s make a group and chat about our favoruite parts! I’m serious here! 😸

I love this author's work and this has to be the best yet. Great story with a great protagonist. Grace is sassy and super cool! Love how she goes from one situation to the next, all by the seat of her pants... so it seems. I'm looking forward to the next book by Oliver Phipps.

Sane Grace is one exciting sci-fi with lots of twists and humor in the right places. If you like a strong female lead with high intelligence and a whole lot of skills, this is the book for you.
I liked everything about Sane Grace - the characters, the plot, and the cover. It was one exciting read and I will surely read more books from Oliver Phipps.
But be warned, the story will glue you to the book! When you start reading, you won't be able to put it down!

I really enjoyed reading and visualizing the organic beauty of nature and other forms of life in this book. Even though life started lifin, the ease felt from God creations is real and was noticed. The resilience of the main character is inspiring. I really enjoyed the ending. Thanks for a good read.
