Evaluation

PATRICIA LEE MACOMBER is a creator I used to be curious about testing the works of since I had her writing beneficial to me by a good friend. I made a decision to take a look at STAR QUEST: THE JOURNEY BEGINS largely due to the duvet because of the reality I’m a giant fan of STAR TREK and the creator clearly communicated they have been going to go for that kind of really feel. I wasn’t disillusioned and located this to be a pleasant afternoon learn.

The premise is Cara Bishop is a fighter pilot who survived an Ender’s Sport/Independence Day-like invasion of the Earth the place a big portion of the planet was devastated. Cara efficiently destroyed the enemy mothership with a dangerous maneuver and have become a planetary hero. This, regardless of the actual fact she really had been despatched on a suicide mission and wasn’t supposed to return again.

Cara will get chosen to function first mate on the reverse-engineered flagship of Earth’s first starship, serving beneath Steve Hunter the world’s first and solely Spartan supersoldier. Cara and Steve have fast and electrical chemistry, which is problematic since they’re boss and subordinate. Oh and about to depart on a 3 12 months mission to hunt out and pester new lifeforms. We even have an eclectic supporting solid, together with a Tony Stark-esque billionaire and Cara’s Admiral father.

The e-book is split into two sections with the primary being Cara struggling together with her choice whether or not or not to enter house (after all she is) in addition to whether or not she will resist falling in love together with her yummy captain (in all probability not). The second a part of the story includes First Contact with a race of peaceable clones who want the crew’s assist in avoiding an interstellar incident. Actually, I preferred the primary half a bit greater than the second however I didn’t dislike both.

If I needed to describe the e-book’s tone, I’d in all probability say that is nearer to THE ORVILLE versus pure Star Trek. Nevertheless, there’s homages galore to a number of science fiction franchises I take pleasure in. The characters are a bit on the foolish facet and have even much less army self-discipline than the usS Enterprise however nobody ever cared about that anyplace however Babylon 5. It additionally jogs my memory a little bit of HALO and MASS EFFECT, which isn’t a foul factor.

It is a enjoyable and lighthearted e-book which must be learn absolutely with the intention of amusing moderately than thrilling. Our heroes are extra like Stephanie Plum in house moderately than hardened explorers and that’s not a foul factor. It was an ideal palette cleanser after a bunch of darker and edgier fiction I’d been studying. These in search of the following epic drama ought to in all probability look elsewhere however that’s not what this e-book is making an attempt to be.
