The Void Incursion - Book 2 - Critical Position

The Void Incursion #2

by M.J. Blehart

The infiltrators from the void between galaxies are increasing their attacks. Striking with weapons and force never before seen, they are devastating - and determined to leave no witnesses. More and more races across the galaxy are being attacked by this threat – but why?
Former military starfighter pilot Jeck Murtsharn and the diverse crew of the starship Dawnstrider; DDI Hectir and agents of the Cosmic Security Agency; Shi’tra and the pirate crew of the Ravusqan Raider; and merchant and information broker Avra Pii K’tark’ah all find themselves to be unwitting pieces on an immense chessboard.
They are, by no means, alone. Two very different soldiers become the first survivors and witnesses to the attacks; Alvon Gargarm finds hope and purpose - despite his enslavement far from home; and deposed queen Ashira Aeshar joins the Dawnstrider crew while continuing to seek out who conspired against her and her late spouse.
Each of the players takes a critical position against the void incursion - knowingly and otherwise.
But who are these invaders and why are they attacking?

About the author

MJ Blehart has been writing stories in the genres of high fantasy and sci-fi/space opera throughout his life, the first when he was nine years old. Over the years the scope of his writing has expanded, adding a variety of genres and styles.

MJ has been a member of the Society for Creative Anachronism (the SCA, a medieval re-enactment society) for over thirty years. In the SCA he is known as Malcolm Bowman, and practices 16th-century rapier combat (he is also an instructor in this), court heraldry, archery, and more.

MJ likes to think he is funny and has been known to pun and make snarky comments. Once, in Santa Fe, New Mexico, a random stranger came up to him, offered to shake his hand, and then told him, "I just had to say...you're an odd-looking fellow."

MJ blogs regularly about mindfulness and conscious reality creation. He lives with his wife and three cats in south New Jersey.

Excellent sci fi adventure

I'm not a fan of doom, death, and destruction, but Critical Position is a book about people helping people, made families, and coping. Although I wish Alvon had not suffered, I am really enjoying his part of the story. The book is well-written with excellent world building, fantastic aliens, great characters, and a riveting story. The choices the characters make are believable; there are no delusions in this series. I look forward to book 3.
