Stars Beyond by SK Dunstall @SKDunstall ‏@AceRocBooks @BerkleyPub

This Stars Uncharted series should be read in order.  I really enjoy this author and the first book in the series, also Stars Uncharted was excellent and harrowing.  I have been reading several different science fiction / space opera type series where there are corporate groups running things and they are greedy and corrupt.

Samara […]

I really loved Mihalik’s Polaris Rising so I had no hesitation in requesting The Queen’s Gambit.  It is shorter but has the same feel I enjoyed in Polaris Rising.  The action is set in space and on planets involved in various disputes.  This novella was an online free serial on the author’s site. Samara leads […]
