Project Charon #4
Swarm
Tina and her crew finally arrive on Olympus, the world that holds the Federacy Assembly. Her initial plan was to go there to present the data she left in a locker on Kelso Station fifteen years earlier, but many things have changed.
For one, rather than wait for someone else to do it, she and the scientists they collected at Aurora Station have been working on a cure for the infection that turns people into grey-skinned mutant pirates.
Secondly, they're bringing a stricken war ship and a few of its remaining crew members who were rescued from pirate captivity.
Little has gone to plan. After a few attempts, they don't yet have a cure. And while the infection does horrendous things to people besides giving them a long, but miserable, life, it seems that the only way it spreads is through human intervention.
Tina and her friends are about to make a few discoveries about power, who wields it, and how it is used in this conclusion to the Project Charon series. The betrayal runs much deeper than anyone has predicted. Those in power are not going to take their uncovering lying down.

Project Charon (4 books in Series) well worth reading
I stumbled across this series while searching for something new to read. It is the first time I've read Patty Jansen, but it definitely won't be the last! Nice to see strong middle aged woman lead character. The characters were developed quickly and stayed very consistent throughout the series. Fun and exciting efforts by the team of characters to learn what is happeningand to escape from becoming mutant pirates. I recommend the Project Charon series to all who like science fiction. Thanks, Patty!

This story was written in 4 books. I had read the first book in a collection of 9 stories by different authors in the (Kindle) book entitled "Spaceships & Dames". The "Project Charon 1: Re-entry" caught my interest, and, after I finished it, I downloaded the remaining 3 of the series. Excellent storyline.
