Review: Cepheid Variable

 
Book Review: Cepheid Variable, by Nicola Claire, 5 stars


 

Half the known systems want to kill them. The other half wants to be them. It’s hard trying to save the universe when the universe can’t make up its mind.
But when a gap appears in the Belt enticing every known species to peek through to the other side, things go from bad to worse.
And that’s not even taking into account the rogue Originator Class vessel out of New Earth.
Secret science stations, nimble gunboats, and a missing High Councillor; you’d think the crew have enough on their hands. But there’s more. The hack code that took out Zenthia Actual, the seat of the High Council of Zenith, is homing in on the crew of the Harpy. And it’s as if it knows who they are, where they are, and what sort of threat they are to its goals.
Either Kael and his crew keep one step ahead of their enemies. Or they get stomped on. Nothing like running for your life in a universe falling apart.


Genre: science fiction/science fiction romance

Publication date: March 2020

Mature content: yes, but nothing overly graphical

Review: I loved this second installment in the Sector Wars series. It's non-stop action right from the first pages, and you will not be able to put in down until the very end. 
 
Heads up that this is not a stand alone book in any way. You need to have read book one (Absolute Zero) before, and then you will have to move on to book three, since Cepheid Variable ends at a cliffhanger. 
 
In this second book you learn a lot more about the main characters - and yes, every one of them was keeping secrets - and I liked Kael a lot more here than I did in book one.
 
 
 
 
Anyway, if you love amazing space adventures with captivating characters and just a hint of romance, then this series is perfect for you. 

  
Happy readings,
