Step into the enigmatic world of the Athos—a vessel that blends the luxury of a cruise ship, the intrigue of a scientific research station, and the might of a military starship. Here, amidst the stars, you'll find Ellis McFadden, the ship’s head librarian, embarking on adventures she never anticipated this late in her career.

The latest adventure sees the ship approaching a mesmerizing nebula, the centerpiece of a grand gala. It’ll be an evening filled with the galaxy's elite, all gathered to marvel at this cosmic wonder and the legendary gem rumored to be born from its very core.

But when this priceless jewel vanishes, Ellis, along with her dashing new boyfriend, Frank, and her charming android cat, has no choice but to find the gem. Failure could mean an interstellar incident, resulting in Ellis, and her daughter, the Vice Admiral, being ousted from their celestial home. Can they solve the mystery in time to save their place among the stars?

I totally loved this cozy sci-fi mystery. I would love to hang out with Ellis and Frank. The story was fun and engaging. Henry with his British accent is just so cute! Other than a few strange pronunciations, I really like the narrator, too. I cannot wait for the next one coming out the end of May! I got the audible version free to listen to, but I always pre-order and buy the e-books. Loved this!

Excellent Story! I Cannot wait for the next one!!

I'm Loving these New Ellis McFadden Mysteries! This is the second in the series and it just gets better! I really enjoyed Star Power! It’s the perfect mix of cozy mystery and sci-fi, with lovable characters and a unique setting aboard a sort of star ship that kept me hooked. Ellis is such a fun lead—smart, relatable, and easy to root for. This time, she’s caught up in a high-profile gala aboard the ship when a priceless gem disappears, and of course, she ends up right in the middle and solving the case. The story moves at a great pace, and the narration by Robyn Maryke is spot on. If you’re looking for something light, clever, and different, this one’s it. Can’t wait for the next in the series!

The scene is a cool original idea.

I’ve always enjoyed the Nocturnal falls books and the accidental queen series. I found this book a refreshing change. I like the characters and that it was sad in space.

New direction
