"Dazzling space battles, intergalactic politics, and rogue AI collide in the second book in this epic space opera by award-winning author Megan O'Keefe. Sanda and Tomas are fleeing for their lives after letting the most dangerous smartship in the universe run free. Now, unsure of who to trust, Sanda knows only one thing for certain - to be able to save herself from becoming a pawn of greater powers, she needs to discover the secret of the coordinates hidden in her skull. But getting to those coordinates is a problem she can't solve alone. They exist beyond a dead gate - a Casimir gate that opened up into a dead-end system without resources worth colonizing, and was sealed off. To get through the dead gate, she needs the help of the enemy Nazca. But some Nazca are only interested in the chip in her head - and they'll crack her open to get to it"--… (more)

Not as good as the first one (

... middle of the trilogy, and i'm still not really hooked, though it's got its moments. but i still think it can get it together and do more with its material. it doesn't help that the characters are kind of stock. on the other hand it has some real momentum going as an adventure saga, and i'm rooting for the author because i'm interested in espionage sf, but so far it's mostly glib rather than deep. it's an interesting central idea, though, leaning towards some kind of first person emergence. onward to the last in the set....

Each book in the series is getting progressively better and with all the twists, turns, intrigued this book has turned out to be a Non-Stop Adventure. The book itself is huge but I left wanting for more at the end. Reminds me very much of when I read Brandon Sanderson. 32 hours later you're still wanting more. (

Damn this series and the endings of the books. At least the final one just came out so I can keep reading straight away.

On the broader scale, my feelings are very similar here to what they were with Velocity Weapon. I have a love/hate relationship with the fact that at no point do I really know who to trust, but I still love most of the characters (or at the very least I love to hate them.) Jules is the one character who's just really unlikable with no redeeming qualities.

While I enjoy the characters, the main ones are the least interesting to me. In this one, my favorites ended up being Arden, Nox, and the Greeve siblings' parents. However, the plot is the thing that held me in it's grip throughout, and the character arcs were very secondary. I can't wait to find out how all the threads come together and where the story ends.

Epigraph

Dedication

This one is for all my beloved weirdos at #MurderCabin.

I couldn’t ask for a finer bunch of friends.

First words

It took twelve hours for the media to spin Sanda Greeve from war hero to murderess.
