Dark Nebula #2
Discovery
He found peace far from Sol, but danger never left his orbit. Can he help free humankind from death’s clutches?
Bradley Olivaw grew tired of the lies. Breaking from his family by leaving for a colony lightyears away, he’s proud of his work contributing to the new planet and he even soothed his anger issues. But when his brother Zachary reappears and reveals his old home in Sol is under intergalactic trial, he lets his rage drive him into action.
With past resentments resurfacing between Bradley and his sibling, the pair take to the stars in search of a way to save humanity. But even after they split up to cover more ground and keep from killing each other, the crimes of their species follow them… and attract lethal alien threats.
Will the brothers rise up to prevent humankind’s extinction?
Dark Nebula: Discovery is the absorbing second book in the Dark Nebula space opera series. If you like expanse-spanning stakes, futuristic tech, and traversing the depths of emotion, then you’ll love Sean Willson’s engulfing adventure.

Author Sean Wilson published the novel “Dark Nebula: Discovery” in 2021. This is the second novel in the author’s ‘Dark Nebula’ series. Mr. Wilson has published five novels.
I received a copy of this novel from the author in return for a fair and honest review. I categorize this novel as ‘PG’ because it contains mild scenes of violence, mature language, and mature situations. The story is set in the far future. The primary character is Bradley Olivaw.
The story in this volume of the series picks up in parallel with what has transpired in volume 1. Olivaw is part of the Earth colony in the Tau Ceti system. When the colony receives a message from Abigail Olivaw they are amazed. She announces that aliens have arrived in the Solar System. She is the President of the Confederation of Planetary Explorers (CoPE). She is also Bradley’s sister.
They scramble to prepare for the aliens to find them. The message has taken years to reach them so they expect contact at any moment. They have no real defenses so that is the first priority. This is only the first of several revelations that the colony must absorb. These discoveries lead Bradley and a handful of colonists on a risky but vital mission. The long-range plan that Abigail has set in motion will take them far from home and their families. They will also find themselves with some new allies.
I enjoyed the 10.5 hours I spent reading this 458-page science fiction novel. This is the third book in the series that I have read. The others were Dark Nebula: Contact and Dark Nebula: Isolation. I have liked the plot of these novels. The story in this volume feels to be a bit choppy, but it is still enjoyable. I do recommend reading the first volume of the series Dark Nebula: Isolation first. The story will make far more sense. I like the chosen cover art. I give this novel a 3.8 (rounded up to a 4) out of 5.

Once again Sean Willson is right on target with this part of the series. I love the bits of humor interpersed among the serious science and thrilling alien interactions. This will continue to get better and better as we travel along with the Olivars.
