A new Cold War threatens the galaxy in this fast-paced and wisecracking thriller of spies and subterfuge.

Simon Kovalic, top intelligence operative for the Commonwealth of Independent Systems, is on the front line of the burgeoning Cold War with the aggressive Illyrican Empire. He barely escapes his latest mission with a broken arm and vital intel that points to the empire cozying up to the Bayern Corporation: a planet-sized bank. There’s no time to waste, but with Kovalic out of action, his undercover team is handed over to his ex-wife, Lt. Commander Natalie Taylor. When Kovalic’s boss is tipped off that the Imperium are ready and waiting, it’s up to the wounded spy to rescue his team and complete the mission before they’re all caught and executed.

sci fi spy series. enjoyed this one
heading on to #2. Can't leave a rating in Audible app anymore so I can easily check if I've read a book & whether I want to read more in series or by author. not pleased with this new turn.
seems I have to write a review.
apologies to other readers, I don't have time to review every read.

spy series

Moren’s second novel builds and expands upon the first. The plot thickens as compared to his first book, and the hints of a galactic conspiracy at the end leave the reader wanting more.

What a fun romp!

This is one hell of a story, written by a master wordsmith. Take your time, relax, & let the story paint a picture in your mind!

What a ride!

Two things stand out with this book: first, Dan More is really good at writing dialogue. That may be due at least partially to the second thing that stands out, which is Victor Bevine's gorgeous narration. I first heard him read Hyperion - and if you haven't read that one I highly recommend it - and he brings a sort of velvety gravitas to the story and dialogue here.

Beyond the dialogue, the story itself is engaging and well written. It moves along briskly and the characters and relatable and engaging. Each is defined without being pedantic about it and the universe in which they operate has its own set of interesting characteristics.

My only quibble is that there are some places in the book in which I experienced a noticeable shift in the audio, almost as if the narrator re-recorded a sentence with a different mic or in a different space. That's distracting from the immersion and takes a few seconds to adjust to. But the story and the performance are both excellent.

Well read and engaging from start to finish

not really my cup of tea as it were, I had a hard time paying attention. also narrator does not pitch his voice differently for different characters.

Meh

This book, was very well written. The near ration is excellent and captivating. I highly recommend it for anyone who likes scifi and spy novels.

Excellent Work

I took this book because it was cheap or free, I don’t remember which. I’m usually disappointed in today’s SciFi so I’m reluctant to spend a credit. But it is much better than average, IMHO, and worth a credit to go back and get book one. It has the right mix of action and suspense that suits my taste.

Wow. It’s been a long time since I’ve finished a novel in 24 hours, but this one left me no choice in the matter.

I suppose the biggest standout is the story. Full of interesting details, surprising turns, and moments that literally made me gasp out loud before I kept going. The chapters jump between the different scenes playing out in parallel while still keeping the pacing rapid and suspenseful. It left me wishing I could see this play out on a screen, but also wondering if it was even possible to give me more detail than I was already getting.

The character development is also incredible. The interludes flashing back to early developmental moments of our cast and their relationships was masterful.

The author is clearly not only a fan of the genre, but a skilled craftsman of it as well. Bravo.

Can't wait to dive into the next in the series, and secretly hoping there are more entries in process!

Deep space espionage — yes please

A well written espionage story that's punchy and enjoyable from start to finish. There were a couple of performance recaptures that don't sound match well, but otherwise very strong.

Engaging
