The second season (The Bryce Connection and Alien Seas) is not as entertaining and energic as the first 8 books...

Before you start this one, please realize it is the ninth of a series: if you haven’t read the first eight books in the series it won’t make much sense to you. Then again, if you have read the other “books” (really short stories) in the series and like me disappointed with the last couple of the series I don’t think you will like this one. It’s even shorter than the other stories in the series, there are lots of extraneous words and scenes that could have been reduced by 75%, and nothing really moves the story forward. This is the end of the line for me, and I wish I would have stopped three short stories prior.

Not much happens
I've read all nine. This is the most annoyingly sparse, devoted purely to developing characters and relationships. With quite a bit of authorial indulgence. The thing that annoys me most is that we see so little of Suvi, the ship's Sentience.
So, why the 4 I've given? It is for the series, and most of it is because I've come to adore Suvi. I'll never forgive Blaze if he doesn't find a way to give her back story.

excellent as Usual, keen insights into the POVs' Souls
Ward spins a tightly written yarn, which makes you feel like he was there or in a very similar place at some time.
very penetrating insights into a warrior's heart and the women who love him.
as with all stories worth reading this series is a Romance.
love this Genre, when it is well written.
this is one of the best!

I so enjoyed this book!
I so enjoyed this book! In fact for the first time in my life I found myself making the expression" tongue in cheek". And realizing for myself what it meant: humorous wryness. A very good thing. Thank you!

Just Darned Good Storytelling
That's all this book is. Not tons of action. Not out-of-this-world science. Just damned good storytelling. And I can't wait for more!!

Wow
This book is different from the other books. Here you get to know the characters. See them in a different light.

$ per word?
Still not happy about these books being so short. I feel like I've been conned. BUT, they are all great reads which I have hugely enjoyed.

Good emotions
The collection of people involved with the science officer and who have changed in ways that may or may not be positive is immense. Certainly those in the conflicting pirate organization didn't improve.
