No species is presented as perfect but there is a sense of peace, prosperity and hope which make a nice change from the currently popular trend towards bleak, dystopian futures. This saga involves advanced technology and an affiliated group of planets, the United Council, which show different species working towards harmony and the greater good. I’ve mentioned in previous reviews that I love the Star Trek vibe of these books. Also, Paxe made an important appearance in book three, Dark Minds, and it is helpful to have read that in order to know his backstory.

Meanwhile, Ellie is discovering she is not quite as alone as she thought in that eerie space station. He gets a lot more than he bargained for when he finally tracks them down to a secret base on an alien moon. Determined not to loose his prey, Renn takes a small crew out an a fast moving exploration shuttle to try to find them.
