This Fine Crew #2
A Rupture in Time
A Secret Within a Secret…
Cadet Darren Lidstrom and his multi-species squad are climbing the ranks of the Interstellar Initiative, but their public reputations are burdened by a highly sensitive secret: the four cadets are the only ones who’ve successfully made contact with the dangerous spacial entity called “The Wallless.” They’d tell you about it… but they’re under orders not to.
When dangerous phenomena occur on the Initiative’s flagship, even experts can’t tell if the occurrences are due to sabotage or from some ability—whether intentional or unintentional—of the entity. Tensions ratchet up even further when a warning the squad received from the entity comes true—and then it shows a vision of the ship’s destruction that no one knows how to either prove or, worse, prevent.
With suspicions and accusations flying in all directions, and the flagship’s crew faced with an emergency order to abandon ship, Lidstrom must decide how much trust to place in the flagship’s officers and in his fellow cadets—especially since making the wrong choice will probably mean the death of the crew and the Initiative itself.

I’m not a fan of books that are written from multiple perspectives. However, I AM a fan of this series, THIS FINE CREW, and this specific book, A RUPTURE IN TIME!
The tale is about an attempt to meld alien individuals (ALIENS, y’all, not funny looking humans from different planets. Think about that for a minute…) into a working, trustworthy crew. How could it not include very different perspectives?!
The author brings to this book a complex, exciting plot along with amazing characters who have fascinating physical, emotional, and thought process differences. I could hardly put it down!

Awesome sci fi adventure
The worldbuilding and characters are fantastic. The non-human points of view are fascinating and well-written. The story is often intense and riveting without a high body count and massive destruction. I don't like time travel books, but Rupture is good enough to overcome my bias.

Like a birth of Star Fleet book
More intrigue, but plenty of alien culture and culture conflicts in this installment. Who can be trusted, who's acting in what interests? Even the members of "this fine crew" are tested, and the limits of the enigmatic being they rescued are pushed. Compelling!

very complex and enjoyable
Complex plot, relatable characters even the other sentient species. Lots going on!! It is really interesting to see it from so many points of view. I still like the first book best. And this is a close second.

Old time sifi story
Very good book to read. Liked the four person narrative. Would recommend reading you need to start with book one to get full story. Looking forward to reading next book.

Great Storyline and characters
I love how each chapter is through the eyes of the character, allows me to focus on their mannerisms and thoughts.
