Starbreaker

Battles on space stations, visits to unique planets, old nemesis and Daddy dearest await you in Starbreaker. I love the crew of the Endeavor. After the events of Nightchaser, Captain Tess Bailey, Shade, and the remaining crew (Jaxon Boudreau, Fiona Winterly, and Merrick Maddox) of the Endeavor are still the galaxy’s Most Wanted. In fact, the bounty has tripled for some of them. Together with Bonk, the cat, they take us along on a fast-paced adventure filled with heists, rescues, and break-ins before Tess has to face down family issues and deal with the Overseer. The romance between Tess and Shade is heated and feels genuine. It is still developing as they work on trust issues. The two work together as a unit and feed off each other’s strengths, especially in combat situations. They face some obstacles and self-doubt, but we also witness growth and see their unity become stronger. I rooted for them and wanted to bat any perceived interference out of their way. The Endeavor is scheduled to deliver vials of blood to Tess’s Uncle and accepts a dangerous rescue mission. In between they will execute a heist, spend time at a tropical resort and face people from their pasts. They will even bring some extra crew members on board. Like I said, buckle up…this is one heck of a ride! Susan Bennett did a stellar job narrating and capturing the voices and emotions of the characters within. She brings their emotions, the conflict and the never ending action to life. -Caffeinated Reviewer
