Historia
Emma Boone thought her dream job as the new Chief of Security on Lumina Station was going to be easy. She didn’t expect corruption, incompetence, and murder. Lumina was a “small-town” space station orbiting above an isolated, quiet, agri-colony planet specializing in exporting wheat, corn, bourbon, and a few other interesting, unusual commodities. When she took the job, she thought a small station with a tiny population of just over 4,000 people would be quiet compared to her last post.

For Hayden Cross, a military investigator in the far future, whether his wife faked her death is the question that is probably going to get him killed. Having lost the only job that kept him sane, he has few resources and fewer leads. Oh, and a sadistic crime lord really wants to kill him. As he fights through an underworld of fanatical rebels, callous bounty hunters, and corrupt cops, each step takes him closer to the truth about his wife’s fate and the oppressive government he once loyally served. On the way, he may even stop a war...but only if he betrays everyone he loves.

A thousand years ago, an alien invasion set humanity back to the Iron Age. Slowly, we recovered, colonizing the Solar System in peace. And discovered that an unknown force is stopping us from exploring any farther. But before the cause can be discovered, a slow-burning conspiracy threatens to explode into System-wide war. With enemies at home and in the darkness beyond, a team of unlikely heroes-a janitor, a mercenary, an asteroid miner, and a pirate-are the only ones who can avert a second apocalypse. This set includes the first three books of the newly-finished REBEL STARS series.

Resumen del Editor
"I've been tortured by a crazy woman, and have sparred with Von Radach. There's nothing you can do to me that even comes close."
Mars invites scientists to participate in terraforming experiments which brings the MAVREK team all the way from Terra. But minutes after landing on the space station, Dr. Mark Warren is accused of murder.
The warm welcome continues with an attack on his spaceship, then three Terrans are found dead, and killer cyborgs are spotted. Authorities immediately conduct a massive hunt throughout Martian space and terrible new enemies surface with a direct link to Warren's old nemesis.
On the planet, the same fugitives hunting Warren also threaten the downfall of Mars itself. The high-octane x-military MAVREK crew battles arms dealers, mercenaries, an infamous hacker, clone trafficking, and an insidious female enemy who will kill to avoid capture. Perhaps they'll save Mars...if they don't die first.
Edge of the Stars is an action-packed science fiction military thriller, with everything sci-fi fans love - starships, space colonies, cyborgs, secret military and medical technology, and even a bad-ass villain.

The man freezes, leaving the woman to fight off five attackers at once, before succumbing.

Historia
When out-of-shape IT technician Roen wakes up and starts hearing voices in his head, he naturally assumes he’s losing it. He isn’t. As of last night, he has a passenger in his brain - an ancient alien life-form called Tao, whose race crash-landed on Earth before the first fish crawled out of the oceans. Over the millennia his people have trained human heroes to be great leaders, to advance our species at a rate far beyond what it would have achieved on its own. Split into two opposing factions - the peace-loving, but under-represented Prophus, and the savage, powerful Genjix - the aliens have been in a state of civil war for centuries.

Geoff and his friends live in Phocaea, a distant asteroid colony on the Solar System's frontier. They're your basic high-spirited young adults, enjoying such pastimes as hacking matter compilers to produce dancing skeletons that prance through the low-gee communal areas, using their rocket-bikes to salvage methane ice shrapnel that flies away when the colony brings in a big (and vital) rock of the stuff, and figuring out how to avoid the ubiquitous surveillance motes.

Action, Action, and Development
At my request, this audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an -->unbiased<-- review
I got started with this book just about the first moment I could. I had enjoyed the first book probably in January this year and I knew the sequel was coming. I love Sci-Fi and the tech and style of action are what really sets them apart sometimes.
Nicholas Barta is certainly dependable for a good read. He does a variety of recognizable voices and I felt he added to the overall experience nicely. I'm used to his voice and nuances already, having read the first book recently, but there really were no issues to be concerned with. I would not quite call him a 5-star performer yet, but I think he could get there. If he could inject a bit more emotion to fit some of the scenes, and move liveliness at the right moments, he'd be there.
This book starts with a prologue that does a good job getting us caught up on the goings on since the end of book 1. The ball gets rolling and we dive into action pretty quickly. But that's really what this book was; action (thriller). I know there is some self-styled techno-thriller aspect here, but what I got more from book two was the thriller side. Book 2, Edge of the Stars, really plays off of the tech established in Book 1, Edge of the Future. I enjoyed all of the cyborgs and nanites, the presence of spaceships even if they aren't focal, and the colonies outside Earth... Terra. The issue I ran into is that this book stood so significantly on the shoulders of book 1 that a lot of the outstanding tech and details began to feel mundane to me. The major technological aspect of this book was seen in the interrogation scenes. I was intrigued and interested anyhow, but again, this was more futuristic thriller and less techno.
Still a good and engaging story, still good banter and plot, still relatable characters. I expected that, though, after book 1. Our characters are becoming more of a 'family' than a band of colleagues, and I welcome the change. I'll be here for book 3 when it's out too! A solid read overall. I'm glad to have had the opportunity.

Continues the action
“Edge of the Stars” is book two of “The Edge” series. This book is a fast-paced romantic space-based thriller with many plot twists and turns keeping the listener engaged at all times. It has nearly all the elements one can ask for in a science fiction book including: cyborgs, distant colonies, clandestine military, intense action sequences, futuristic medical technology, and much more. The book is written by Andria Stone and the audiobook edition is well narrated by Nicholas Barta. The story picks up close to where the first one left off. This book contains many of the same characters from the first in the series but, there are a few new and more sinister characters found in this one. If you enjoyed the first book of this series, I think you will enjoy the second even though it is less a technology thriller than a suspense novel.
I was quite pleased the author included a prologue chapter allowing the listener the ability to get caught up with the events and activities that concluded from the first book. There are times that the next book in a series is not published for months or years after the first, so it is always nice to have a short chapter getting one caught up. This book takes place about six months after the first and the events occur mostly on mars. For me, I found the second book in the series to be less technology focused as it was concentrated on being a suspense thriller. I would have preferred more technology woven into the story as it was a critical component of the first book in the series, yet this one seemed to be more action and suspense then techno-thriller. There are still aspects of cloning along with medical technology using nanites, but I would have enjoyed having more technology based on the colony, weapons, etc.; yet it seemed to be lacking in this book.
I also enjoyed the author’s use of various small events that seems to run the length of the story such as one character’s drive to complete the task in hopes of receiving a tattoo when all was accomplished. There were also a few other instances where characters had well defined personalities that remained consistent throughout the story; I like this aspect of consistent characters along with their actions. I found it refreshing that both book one and book two stories were mainly completed without leaving many open-ended aspects; each book could be read as stand-alone story, yet you get much more when read them as a series. I enjoyed most of the character’s dialogue between each other, but I would have liked to have had less bantering amongst them. For their level of education and expertise, it seemed at times out of place or forced when they interacted this way or fluently used foul language. I enjoy authors who can paint a picture for me, but not too detailed that it takes away from my own imagination. In some way, I thought the author focused too much attention on descriptive detail such as clothing and less on the more technical aspects. Not a bad things, but more a preference in my part.
Mr. Barta did a decent job with the book’s audio narration. Being a new comer in the narration space with eight books (at the time of this review) on Audible, I felt he did a good job overall. There were a few slight inconsistencies with volume in spots, but these were minor. I also felt that Mr. Barta at times put dramatic emphasis in places where it just did not seem to fit. Overall, the recoding was professionally done and I’m sure his reading will become better as he grows in experience.
For parents or younger listeners, be aware that this book does contain a fair amount of vulgar language along with some mature subject matter. There are discussion involving sex or sexual topics which may not be appropriate for younger listeners. If this type of content is offensive to you, I would recommend locating a different series to listen too.
In summary, the book is a good book, but I enjoyed the first one more due to its emphasis on technology. Even though this book seems to focus more on character development, it still contains a fair amount of action and suspense. If you enjoyed the first book, I would recommend you pick up a copy of the second. If you have not yet listened to the first, I recommend you pick up that one and enjoy a new audiobook series.

Another fun thrilling listen
I really enjoyed this book. Lots of twists and turns, action, technology, off-world travel, cameraderie and a Bond-worthy villain with an audacious plan--what's not to love? There are a few audio issues toward the beginning, but they disappear after a few hours and they lent the rapid-fire pace verisimilitude, especially when our heroes are running around the domes of Mars. Andria Stone delivers another un-put-down-able follow up to her first thriller, and it's even more fun. Nicholas Barta pulls out all the stops in his performance. I can't wait for the next installment.

GOOD SERIES.
Enjoyable. Fast moving and the protagonist, Dr Mark Warren and his team is in Mars and are caught in the cyborgs, clones and slavery trade. With an evil enemy who hates him and go all out to kill him. Very well written. Nicholas Barta did a good job with different voices for the characters and he brought life to the story. I hope there will be more books soon. Worth a credit.
