Melanie said: " This was a really action-packed story, Solaris Seethes Book #1 in the Tetralogy (or if you prefer Quadrilogy)!

It is the story of Rynah who was a pilot in the fleet of Lanyr, but now works in security for the lab housing the crystal for the planet. Sh This was a really action-packed story, Solaris Seethes Book #1 in the Tetralogy (or if you prefer Quadrilogy)!

It is the story of Rynah who was a pilot in the fleet of Lanyr, but now works in security for the lab housing the crystal for the planet. She is newly engaged to Klanor after a lengthy relationship! She finds out that her intended, has been using her as a means to an end; to find out about her planet's crystal, it's history and legend, and about the prophecy. There are six crystals in total, that when put together form a powerful weapon. There aren't any particular details of the how it works, but when people are hungry for power and control; they want to obtain it first and figure out the other unanswered questions later!

This legend and prophecy was her grandfather's obsession and he said that their planet was headed for destruction. She had a love/hate relationship with her grandfather, whom she called by his first name, Marlow. She believed that he killed her mother with his obsession and she didn't want to know him; yet she still had notes and thoughts written down in a notebook. This notebook was later stolen by Klanor, and aided him in his quest to obtain the crystals and the device that would grant him power.

Her planet's crystal was a data device used to keep the magnetic fields in alignment. Without it there were volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and all kinds of weather disturbances. Her planet has had control for 1500 years, but now that's all gone -- thanks to Klanor!

Solaris is Marlow's last gift to Rynah. A sentient ship, an AI, artificial intelligence that runs the ships systems, interacts and communicates (sometimes with attitude) with the crew or just Rynah; and that he built for her to finish the mission of finding the crystals and keeping anyone else from using them for evil in the galaxy!

Klanor has a head start and according to the prophecy, Rynah will need the assistance of four other persons in the galaxy. These people are Terrans from different time periods of Earth's history!

The chase is on for the crystals; with pirates, mercenaries, black marketers, and looters! When it seems like she is getting ahead there are many setbacks that could cause her to lose hope!

I'm looking forward to Book #2 Solaris Seeks, to continue the saga and find out if Rynah outsmarts Klanor, does Brie come back to life, does Rynah evade the pirates and the answer to many other questions! ...more "
