Book 3 in The Messenger series! The stories get better each step of the way – and this third book is no exception! Dash and the gang head to a distant outpost to gather Dark Metal, which – surprise! – is actually a crashed Golden ship that is composed of the Dark Metal! What looks like a possible straight forward salvage operation soon becomes yet another tedious, potentially lethal, escapade! Not only do they have issues getting permission to go to the crash site, they encounter both expected and unexpected issues along the way. But, as usual, they do find their way out of the mess and learn quite a few things in the process – which is a win-win for everyone involved! They also pick up an ally in the form of the outpost, specifically with two of its citizens – one former military and the other a biologist. And they both prove to be useful and helpful!!
I really like the character development, the interaction of the characters, the story line, the plot, the narration – there really isn’t much to not like. Well, sometimes in just sitting there listening to the book, I do think “why don’t they do this???” And sometimes they do get to it, sometimes they take a different path, and much of the time the delay is maddening!!!! LOL But it’s not my story to tell and I do truly enjoy the one being told!!
Get the books, start the series, you won’t regret it!!
