Especially as her arrival in Gree territory on board an experimental new advanced Tekron ship (full of dead Tekrons) causes an explosive diplomatic situation. The discovery of Rose, the first advanced sentient alien discovered in over 200 years, causes a storm in the UC. Under the surface they are as seething with political intrigue and manoeuvring as your typical human ally nations! Four alien races make up the UC (Unified Council) and on the surface they seem like the sort of typical societies you would find as a Star Trek Federation member. The AI helped Rose escape her captors but there was always that hint of doubt over its motives and aims. It sounds like a fun premise and thankfully the story delivered! Rose and Dav were both fairly easy characters to root for and Sazo was extremely intriguing.
The only problem is, all its crew are dead - all except for one strange, new alien being. He's saved her from captivity and torture, but he's also put her in the middle of a conflict, leaving Rose with her loyalties divided.Ĭaptain Dav Jallan doesn't know why he and his crew have stumbled across an almost legendary Class 5 battleship, but he's not going to complain. Rose McKenzie may be far from Earth with no way back, but she's made a powerful ally - a fellow prisoner with whom she's formed a strong bond. It was the books blurb that drew me to this one: It had the perfect blend of action, intrigue, romance, humour, and cool sci-fi technology! It also really helped that I found Michelle Diener's writing to be quite engaging and that I was interested in the plot and emotionally engaged with the likeable characters. I really loved this character driven sci-fi story. Winner of a SFR Galaxy Award 2016 and the Prism Award 2016 for Best Futuristic. In this race for the truth, he's going to have to go against his leaders and trust the dark horse. And whatever else is out there is playing its own games. The Class 5's owners, the Tecran, look set to start a war to get it back and Dav suspects Rose isn't the only alien being who survived what happened on the Class 5. She seems small and harmless, but less and less about her story is adding up, and Dav has a bad feeling his crew, and maybe even the four planets, are in jeopardy. The only problem is, all its crew are dead, all except for one strange, new alien being. Rose McKenzie may be far from Earth with no way back, but she's made a powerful ally-a fellow prisoner with whom she's formed a strong bond. Some secrets carry the weight of the world.
