Review: Dark Horse

 

✩✩✩✩

 

Rose McKenzie may be far from Earth with no way back, but she's made a powerful ally--a fellow prisoner with whom she's formed a strong bond. Sazo's an artificial intelligence. He's saved her from captivity and torture, but he's also put her in the middle of a conflict, leaving Rose with her loyalties divided.
Captain Dav Jallan doesn't know why he and his crew have stumbled across an almost legendary Class 5 battleship, but he's not going to complain. The only problem is, everyone on board is dead, except for one strange, new alien being. She calls herself Rose. She seems small and harmless, but less and less about her story is adding up, and Dav has a bad feeling his crew, and maybe even the four planets, are in jeopardy. The Class 5's owners, the Tecran, look set to start a war to get it back and Dav suspects Rose isn't the only alien being who survived what happened on the Class 5. And whatever else is out there is playing its own games.
In this race for the truth, he's going to have to go against his leaders and trust the dark horse.

Genre: science fiction/science fiction romance

Publication date: June 2015

Mature content: yes

Review: Good science fiction book, and lovely romance story between Dav and Rose. I found it, however, very slow moving in some places, and towards the end the plot seems to over-complicate a bit too much. In any case, it's well written and the story is consistent and believable (for a science fiction book).

 

 

 

Dark Horse is book one in the Class 5 series, and now I'm curious about the next books, so I intend to continue reading the series. I'll post reviews as soon as I finish each of them.

 

  

Happy readings,
