Quinn of Cygnus: Free Fall

by A.M. Scott

Soaring means leaving the nest. Q of Cygnus is tired of running. She's safe with her found family, healing and learning to control her talents. But her enemies are getting stronger, too. She must take the fight to them and eliminate the threat, once and for all. Before she can go on the offensive, former allies destroy her plans. Trapped with a possible traitor, Q must outsmart artificial intelligences, Familia operatives and her own self-doubt. While battles may be won and lost, Q will do whatever it takes to win the war.

Q Comes into Her Own Power

This story was fantastic! The Sa-sa really booted the story in gear by sending Q into the universe on her own before she or Saree thought she was ready. The Sa-sa insisted Q go on her Queen journey with only Susan, A new artificial intelligence (AI) to watch out for her. Then her .mission got further complicated by the humanitarian need to rescue Bevan Astra. Is her really an enemy agent or just another victim of Familia? AM Scott did an excellent job of confusing the question mak8ng it. Impossible to ever know for certain. I loved having Ruhger, Chief, Loreli, Doc, Grant, Tyron, Ruth, Porter, General Keer, and Lashtar together again, even if only for a cameo.

I especial lovedhow Q masrered ^timespace^.

I'm delighted there will be more books in this universe with my friends.

5 Stars
I loved this action packed, suspense filled book! The plot moves forward rapidly with the Sa’sa and a new character (Bevan Astra) forcing Q to develop self control while also beginning to mature emotionally. Wraps up some story lines while leaving plenty more for future tales!
I reviewed an Advance Reader copy of this book.

Q story line reaches an end with some surprises

The relationships and betrayals are interwoven and make for a fast paced and slightly unpredictable tale.
This universe is still a fun place to explore so hopefully more will be done.
