Project Charon #2
Originator
Previous published under another pen name.
After having escaped from Kelso Station, Tina and her crew run low on supplies. Both stations they can visit are in pirate hands. They have to make a toss-up which would be the safest. They choose the bigger station. But while they’re in the dock, trying very hard not to be noticed until they can negotiate the ridiculous supply wait times before they leave again, Tina finds out that her daughter Evelle is a prisoner at the station. Trying to free her brings Tina much closer to the pirates than she ever wanted to get.

One the run and the choices of refueling spots are pirate station and worse pirate station. Ever resourceful, Tina, Rex, and their new crew are up for the challenge. Turns out there are still a lot of secrets they are keeping from each other. The station is full of surprises too, not all of them pleasant. But hey, maybe they will get something to eat other than curry? A girl can hope, eh? LOL
Much as Tina and her haphazard crew were stuck in place for much of this book waiting for the other shoe to fall, the over arching plot of the series felt stuck too - waiting for something to propel it forward. This felt like a transition book in a lot of ways - it set many things in motion for the future and raised some seriously HUGE questions - but didn't answer many of the things I was hoping it would.
Book one gave some of the history of the alien dust, and this book is showing the real effect it is currently having in the galaxy - and some intriguing hints about what might be coming next. Cool concept, great characters, exciting read, I'm looking forward to what comes next

Project Charon 2: Originator was very entertaining but the plot didn’t seem to move forward very much. I was also extremely disappointed in the sudden ending which left so much of the story unresolved.
I still love Tina and Rex, and am enjoying seeing Rex mature.
