I came late to the Kurtherian Universe and enjoyed most of the Queen Bitch books. Then I went through the Second Dark Ages 4 books and they have been my favorites so far. Now I’m looking for my next fix and this isn’t it.

The first book didn’t grab me and this second one is even worse. The characters never become real and are often TSTL. I mean , who in their right mind would take an escape pod to the planet just to save a shuttle “in case” someone else might need it? And as pointed out to her later, for a message she could easily just called and given to him? Doubt I’ll give the 3rd book a try in hopes of any of the characters developing into anyone I care to read about.

One hearty thumbs down for these books.
