I can see a theme starting here. I am really digging the stories with the crew of the Clarke. I am enjoying the serial and love waking up Tuesday morning with the next installment waiting for me to read. ( )

Bit too much exposition, but nice to see some of the people we already know again, and quite a fun little installment. Excited about where it will go from here. ( )

Captain Coloma of the Clarke is on tenterhooks awaiting the results of the review board, after she did major, irreparable damage to her ship by placing it in the path of a missile intended for the aliens Ambassador Abumwe had been sent to negotiate with. In the meantime, she and her crew have been given a really simple, boring task: ferry around dignitaries from Earth, in an aging vessel the Colonial Union is planning to sell them.

Simple and straightforward, until Harry Wilson figures out that these dignitaries aren't from Earth, at least not recently, and her chief engineer discovers a little surprise hidden in the ship's skip drive.

Another good episode. Recommended.

Again, I bought this from Audible. ( )

The plotting here is just amazing. There is a lot going on but it never feels overwhelming or much of a muchness. I'm not sure whether I'm more excited to be reading it as a serial, or to re-read the whole thing once it's done.

I bought a copy. ( )
