Synopsis

"Taking on a new Captaincy with the Barony means that our Captain Scott can now live a life of ease. His drinking will be tolerated, his hangovers ignored and he will be in charge of the newest fastest Supra Destroyer in the RIM Confederacy. Life is good for Tanner who enjoys his new ship and the favors of the Lady St. August yet the PTSD he still suffers from the thwarted prison escape on Halberd still haunts him. He copes but needs support from loyal friends and that keeps him going. Except he soon learns that the simple task of doing his shakedown cruise on the BN Atlas means that he inadvertently finds a discovery that will shake the very foundations of science all across the galaxy..."

About this title

Review

"This is my overall view of books 1-4. First I have to say I read all 4 books within 4 days. No I did not get anything else done in those four days but, oh well. I personally have known guys from the Nam days up to Afghanistan many of them have ptsd. None of them, however, were in a position of authority after coming home from the offending tour of duty. That said, having the knowledge I have about the issue spurred me on to see how you handled the captains issues. Alcohol is pretty standard for most, especially the ones that don't seek help. But then not everyone wants a lifetime script for klonopin. I hope you use this platform to encourage some real progress in truly helping out these men and women. Maybe you have a helpful storyline coming up?
OK. You have hit a lot of points that I love to see in sci-fi books. Star travel, spacecraft (new & old) new tech, fresh discoveries, political intrigue, aliens, you stayed in the milky way but took it out to the rim with hints of "out there and beyond" stuff, oh yeah, the hussy and the step-daughter with some piracy thrown in.. Hmmmm, let me think, gardening and a penitentiary. Wow. Then there's the captain. As much as I want you to fix him, not sure you should .......yet. Definitely have to build on the anti grav thing, but don't let the baroness screw him over too badly. I guess he might not see it that way since he got the ship though. I'm guessing next your going to go all archeological dig on us, at least I hope you do. I bet those guys might be able to translate the message from the trees? Should the Ikarians be the translators? Do we know where they came from yet? I don't think so. So much suspense, so little time. Get on the stick! I need that next book!"5.0 out of 5 stars -- This series has it all. The good, the bad, the ugly and ptsd. Wow....AuntieQue
