It is entertaining enough. IF you are new to Space Opera or Sci-Fi in general, you may really like the first and second book of the Universe in Flames series. However, if you are a seasoned reader, you will note the formulaic sequence of events and be reminded of both Star Trek and Star Wars. In that, you have the ‘utopian’ cashless society; end of racial and cultural animosity; end of religious fanatics, and have plenty of key SW elements such as Master, Force, Bloodline, Light v Dark, etc. But, I wouldn’t dare to compare Ryonna to Jar Jar! The characters continue to drive the story, which is a good thing. There are more battles, more tech, and more training to be had. And yes, more story to be told. In this installment, there is a traitor in the midst (no spoilers, but easily ferreted out). Bonus – races against time, some more Olympians, more bromance, too. In sum, it is entertaining and I’d put this installment at a 3.4 Star – so just a bit below the round-up to 4-Star rating. I do have the third book, and do plan on reading it – just not right away.
3.4 of 5 stars
From the Publisher:
With Commander Sarah Kepler imprisoned and being brutally interrogated by her captor, Chase learns more about his birthright powers as he tries to locate her. It soon becomes clear that he must learn to control them or he could end up destroying the very universe he's trying to save. Meanwhile the Destiny battle group is being escorted to Droxia to answer for their actions, unaware of what awaits them upon their arrival. On Earth, humanity licks its wounds when some unforeseen acts of terror threaten the newly found peace that the fresh and frail Alliance brought along with their arrival. An unexpected ally surfaces with information that could tip the balance of power for the first time since the Obsidian Empire obliterated the Star Alliance. But considering his past actions, can he really be trusted? Chase is determined to save his beloved Sarah at all cost, but with the fate of the universe in the balance and his overwhelming powers quickly coming to the surface, his task is not an easy one. Neither is the growing burden of responsibility already eating at his soul. Choices and sacrifices are to be made. But will Chase be able to live with the consequences of his actions?
