Review: Apparent Brightness

 

✩✩✩✩✩

 

Working as the Chief Engineer onboard the ESAS Chariot out of Europe, Commander Camille Rey expected her position to be somewhat challenging on occasion.

She did not expect to be fighting for her and her fellow crewmen’s lives immediately after take-off.

Teaming up with the very proper, and very English Captain Noah Vaughan to combat a desperate saboteur onboard their vessel, Camille discovers that not all the malfunctions the Chariot is experiencing are human-related.

Secrets and desires are exposed amongst the stars and plasma fire, but can the captain and the chief overcome their cultural differences?

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

Genre: science fiction/science fiction romance

Publication date: January 2018

Mature content: yes

Review: Apparent Brightness is book two in the Sector Fleet series by Nicola Claire. While technically it can be read as a stand alone, it closely follows book one (Accelerating Universe) in terms of plot and time line.  

 

Now that I had a bit more background, I could actually sit back and enjoy the story and the characters. Apparent Brightness hooked me from page one and it was very hard to put it down. I'm finding these rogue artificial intelligence fascinating, even if Vela (Chariot's AI) is a bit more violent than Pavo (from book one) throughout most of the book. Also, Apparent Brightness is a bit  heavier on the sexual content than the previous book.

 

 

 

 

I'm well into book three now - and loving it too - so stay tuned for the next review.

  

Happy readings,
