Hello, fellow sci fi fans, here we are for some more books that I love. I first read the first book in this series for a blog tour, what feels like forever ago. I loved it and read the second one for a follow up blog tour too. Indeed a few titles in this series have had the same treatment, the rest I read originally, just for me.
Karl’s a great writer, and this series has an intriguing premise or two that I really liked. Plus I love a snarky AI system and the relationship they build with their human crew mates. And this has that too.
Opal is looking for her missing sister Clarissa, and has stolen a ship to do that. Which means her investigation into the mysterious Lost Ships and Clarissa’s whereabouts is somewhat hampered by the unimpressed former employer who wants their ship back.
As the series continues and the AI Opal originally names after her sister gets more intelligent, they become a real team. On the run, and still searching for answers.
There’s also a series of novellas, all based on characters we meet along with Opal, and mostly the ones in pursuit of our renegade ship and her crew. Which gives an interesting opposing perspective on events and plotlines. It’s a fully realised universe in many ways and I can’t wait to see where it goes next (I still haven’t read book 4, but now book 5 is here, it’s time!)
