Review: Accelerating Universe

 

✩✩✩✩

 

Fleeing from a past that almost killed her and a present that promises she’ll only burn, pay-for-passage passenger Ana Kereama boards the Sector Two lead vessel Pavo with only survival in mind.

What she finds is a reason to live, and it has nothing to do with New Earth.

Teaming up with the sexy and commanding Captain John Jameson to protect those on board their ship, Ana fights not only for her vessel’s survival but the intelligent being emerging within its gel coated walls.

Love and trust are born amongst the stars and plasma fire, but is it possible for a captain to be involved with a second lieutenant?

And can any of them hope to survive the treacherous voyage unscathed?

Genre: science fiction/science fiction romance

Publication date: January 2018

Mature content: yes

Review: Accelerating Universe is book one in the Sector Fleet series, actually the first book I read by this author, and I enjoyed it very much. As space adventures go, it's most realistic and believable, although I would have liked a bit more background on how the fleet prepared to leave Earth and when/how that came to happen. Also, the romance is pretty much subdued almost until the end.

I did love Pavo, the ship's artificial intelligence, and it was pretty interesting to see it develop and evolve until in became almost human. 

The story is told from alternate points of view (Ana/Jameson) and at first it felt a bit confusing because one picks up where the other left off or a bit before, and it took me a while to get used to it. Once I got engaged into the plot, however, I almost read it all in one sitting. 

 

 

 

 

There are three more books in this series and I intend to read them all in order, so stay tuned for the next reviews.

  

Happy readings,
