The ongoing adventures of Taggart and his motley crew of family, friends, and on-again, off-again enemies as they try to stop a cataclysmic disaster from befalling the galaxy. Surge is the third book in the Emberling series, an action-packed carnival ride of a space opera that will leave you breathless.
Near the end of book 2 of this fantastic series, Taggart's entire family has been named along with the part they play in this saga as well as the role that they played, currently play an/or will be called to play as the reader moves along.
Tate, the Eldest, believes in rules and the law. To that effect, he is district commander in this part of the Universe with the Colonial Militia. He has and always had a special kinship with Taggart, the youngest of the brood but had to leave him behind when he joined the academy.
Carole Ann is the black sheep of the family. She couldn't get away fast enough from home and didn't even care that she left he r younger brother in the hands of a poor excuse for a father. She joined the Sleepwalkers, is their leader and does not care who gets killed or maimed as long a s it is not her.
Wollet, the poor excuse for a father, does everything we all insulated by others so that they get blamed, incarcerated, beaten or killed for his own crimes. Always looking for the easy score, he is a compulsive complainer.
Taggart is the soft hearted baby brother with his own baggage and the main character of this series.
The author is a great pleasure to read. The plot is great, the characters stellar and the gift that he uses makes the reader so much closer to the characters and the arena where the plot plays out.
I highly recommend this book and rate it with 5 Stars.
This book was a good read and there was plenty of action both in space and on planets that it kept you wanting to keep reading to see what happened next. Great storyline and it fits in well with the rest of the series so far.
