The plot is well written and done. You get a love story along the way. You get to know the crew as well as Derek and Caeli. I believe this book is good for though science fiction but also I would suggest teens to read it from the age of 14 and up. The parent has the right to decide. It being rated PG 13 so it would be okay for 13 years old if you the parent this your child or children are mature enough for the book. That is up to you. The first book I thought was a nice read. I was on the edge of finding the book to be a great read but never fully got there. Yet, something changed in this second book and I fond that spark I was looking for. Because there was no formalities with getting to know the characters I was able to just jump right into this book. Additionally, it did not hurt that the crew was so closely bonded and their voices stronger that I paid attention to them more. In fact, I thought this book had a bit of the feel of the movie, Serenity based on the short lived television series, Firefly by Joss Whedon. As I have stated many times that the world, characters, and action are all important factors in these types of books to me. Well this book had all of that. I do have to mention Dr. Caeli and Derek's relationship. It has grown stronger from the first book. They are good together. I look forward to reading more books from this author. no reviews | add a review
"In the second installment of the award-winning Horizon series, Dr. Caeli Crys returns to her war-torn world to fight for those she left behind. Almagest, Caeli's home, stands on the brink of revolution. Long hidden from the rest of the galaxy, the once-peaceful planet suffers under a regime that grows more violent and oppressive by the day. Marcus, Almagest's dictator, is building an arsenal of alien weaponry by selling empathic children into slavery. A resistance has risen, but they are outmanned, outgunned, and in hiding. Joined by Commander Derek Markham and his elite squadron of operatives, Caeli embarks on a dangerous mission to find the Resistance, rescue her captive people, and save her civilization from destruction." -- No library descriptions found. |

The Alliance has discovered that Marcus is involved in human trafficking of the Novali people, who are empathic, as a means to purchase advanced technology. The planet is vulnerable to falling into the hands of the Alliance’s enemies who would love to use the Novali as a weapon in the war against the Alliance. Since Almagest is not a member planet, the Alliance is almost powerless to prevent this from happening hence the mission. Once a democratic government is installed, Almagest can then apply for membership in the Alliance.
Once Caeli and Derek, along with a small elite team from the Horizon, arrive on the planet they find a small pocket of resistance fighters hiding in the wild evading Marcus’s attempts to capture them and quell the resistance once and for all. They start working with the resistance fighters to free Novali prisoners with the ultimate goal of overthrowing Marcus. A plan is devised that requires Derek to go undercover as a mercenary and setup a trade of technology for the prisoners. It is not long before things go awry and the resistance must depend on the ordinary citizens to assist in over throwing the dictatorship.
The plot is not new by any means, but it is timeless. Humanity will always struggle against individuals who try to use fear and violence to force their idea of a perfect world onto others. It seems like we as a human race are destined to always struggle with the Machiavellian idea of, “Does might make right?”
I really liked the first book, but I loved this one, mainly because the book spent almost the entire time on the world of Almagest. There is plenty of action to move the plot along nicely. Since I already knew so much about the main characters I was invested in the story from the beginning. I also liked that we find out how the Novali people came to be. In a nut shell, Infinity ticks all the boxes for me. It is a skilled and, thoughtfully done Sci-Fi story. I look forward to the next book in this series, especially since we get a hint at the very end of what is to come.
I received a free copy from the author in exchange for my honest review.
