The Sea of Stars #2
The Oath and the Keeper
How hard is it to NOT get caught up in a galaxy-shaking conflict?
Going from smuggler to freighter captain was supposed to be Gaylen’s escape from brushes with death. No more gangsters, no more gunfights, no more drama.
Now, a starship’s black box has landed in his lap. On it is a secret that a galactic superpower will do anything to get its hands on. A secret that thousands of innocent lives depend on. And just like that, Gaylen’s conscience has to act up at the worst possible time.
As a war brews on the galactic frontier, Gaylen has to contend with secret agents, pirates, and a fleet of warships.
So much for the quiet life.

Great sci fi adventure
The crew is interesting, and their interactions are often fun. The worldbuilding is fascinating if grim. The body count is definitely higher in book 2, which is offset by a hoped for romance. The story is thrilling. I hope this isn't the last book about this crew.

Crazy
I read through this book in a single day. Well worth giving it a look. If you have not given Eli a read, I recommend you give him a try.
