Historia
When Van Tudor returns to his childhood home, he inherits more than the family farm. His grandfather used to tell him fantastic stories of spacemen and monsters, princesses and galactic knights. Little did Van realize, the old man's tales were more than fiction; they were real. Hidden beneath the old barn, Van’s legacy is waiting: a starship, not of this world. With his combat AI, an android bird named Perry, Van takes his first steps into the wider galaxy. He soon finds that space is far busier and more dangerous than he could have ever conceived.

Captain Evridiki “EB” Bardacki was once a nova fighter pilot for a nation he truly believed in. Betrayal and failure sent him into exile and flight. Now, owner-operator of the freelance star freighter Evasion, he treks the edge of human space, taking cargos that lead him ever onward - but there are lines he will not cross. When those lines are challenged, EB makes enemies of the most powerful crime syndicate for a hundred light-years. When one of their victims stows away on his ship, he finds himself pursued by an enemy with assets everywhere he turns.

Quicker is a near-future SciFi/Thriller whose young heroine, Ell Donsaii, is an intrepid athletic phenom who reminds one of David Weber's Honor Harrington. Like Stieg Larsson's Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo Ell is also a mathematical genius who, instead of counting sheep, works on her own theory of quantum mechanics to help her drift off to sleep. At once shy and concerned about her social skills, yet well loved by those around her, she finds herself at the center of a terrorist plot at the Olympics.

Resumen del Editor
What terrible secrets will Tyler Matthews and his star lawyers discover within the forbidden sanctuary on the mysterious, sacred planet Adao-2?
Can the legal team from Matthews Interstellar Industries learn the truth in time to save M-double-I’s century-long quest to open Jump Gate Omega, bridge the 2.5 million light years to the Andromeda galaxy, and prevent economic ruin and war in the Milky Way?
While Tyler, J.B., Rosalie, and Lucy (her shapeshifter cat) battle pirates and religious fanatics, Suzie and her holographic A.I. colleagues - former ladies of the night, re-purposed as legal assistants and starship crew - face an even deadlier foe. This unknown enemy threatens to delete all the starship Patrick Henry’s programs and terminate their existence forever.
To make matters worse, Cousin Esteban languishes in prison on Suryadivan Prime, where the former Catholic monk faces a death sentence for crimes he did not commit.
Rollicking sci-fi fun, packed with humor, romance, and deep space adventure, punctuated with courtroom battles on alien worlds. Fans have dubbed the Star Lawyers series “Star Trek meets Law & Order.”

Fashioning themselves as the one true “Human Republic,” the Sturm cut a bloody swath across the stars, killing billions before finally being defeated and driven into the far reaches of Dark Space. Centuries of peace bred complacency. Everyone believed the Sturm had died out in the Dark. They were wrong.

Historia
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.

Awesome book for future lawyers
As a prospective law student studying for the LSAT, i was craving entertainment that would keep me excited about my future without being as mind-numbing as TV Lawyer Dramas. This series has dome just that.

This is an Outstanding Sequel and Series!!
Forbidden Sanctuary, although actually being the second in the series, is more like Part 2 to Jump Gate Omega, than an actual Sequel, in that the Noah Brothers have still to save the Jump Gate Legacy Project that their Grandfather started all those years ago. Tyler Noah Matthews III (although he goes by Noah) sent his boys, Tyler Noah Matthews IV, and J.B. Matthews, along with their Sister, Rosalie Matthews to the Suryadivan Sacred Protectorate to go and project the Jump Gate, after the religious arm of the Suryadivan’s, the Supreme Council of Pontiffs, nullified the contract that the Matthews Company had with the Suryadivan’s, and made it so that no one from Matthews Corporate could go near the gate.
It was up to the Team to save the day, and on the way to the Protectorate, they had an adventurous time, getting waylaid by Pirates, Terrorists and various Aliens. However, Tyler and J.B. also found a ship that had previously been used as a flying brothel, and repurposed it, into Star Lawyers Corp., a legal firm that has mobile legal offices, run by the ‘Holographic’ staff that had been reprogrammed from the programs that had been on the ship previously. This ship, now called the Patrick Henry, has a crew of several living staff, The Noah Brothers, and Rosalie, Mr Blue, a Quirt-Thymean, Paco Leon, the ships Chief Mechanic, and Inspector Demarcus Platte, Head of Security, along with Yumiko Matsuda, an Investigator for the firm. The rest are Holographic staff made up from the members of the previous incarnation of the crew, as their programs were A.I., but they have been reprogrammed to be Legal Aides, Assistants etc, aboard the ship, which has emitters all over, allowing them to move freely around the ship with clients.
Although Tyler managed to get a temporary injunction against the Suryadivan Court to allow the Jump Gate to continue, this won’t last. Tyler and Rosalie were almost killed by a bomb as a result.
This is an intense story, and one in which at first look, you might think, Seriously?? Lawyers in Space?? No thanks… But it is not what you think, and it is just too good to pass up. For starters, there is more action in these books than most of the Mil Sci-Fi books I have read, the Elite Assassin known as ‘Naca Jen’ or ‘Night Storm’ cuts through more people than plastic packing at Christmas, but only if they are bad people.
The court action is actually very well done, with that short and sweet type of Lawyer style we have gotten used to on most of the TV shows, were our Intrepid Lawyers either decimate the opposition, or find themselves in a lot of trouble and needing that magic card to help them out of the hole. Either way, it makes for gripping and entertaining reading, and Shepherd has not only done his homework on legalese, to make it sound good, but he has added this additional layer of intrigue to the entire concept in that we have ‘Alien’ legal systems, making it that much more interesting as there are all these cultural differences on a galactic scale that the team has to be aware of.
In this second part, we get to see so much of this as the team is fighting for multiple different things, not just the Jump Gate. The Matthew Brothers are not only fighting against the Gate injunction, which is nigh on impossible as it is a religious order, but they also have to contend with a Murder charge against a member of their Family, Estaban, who is arrested for the murder of one of the Suryadivans.
On top of this, their other Cousin, Julieta, is still missing, and has been for months now, and no one knows where she is or has gone?
On the Galactic front, Matthews Corp are facing some difficult times as investors and other companies are getting funny as they are not sure if their project is going to get off the ground, and all the money they have spent is going to be wasted, and the Gate will be non-operational.
This is a brilliant story, it is so complex at some layers, with a multi-faceted story, that is incredibly intriguing, fascinating on so many layers, gripping and compelling on so many others. You find yourself totally captivated to the book, having to finish it, as you just HAVE to know what is going to happen next, it is such an intense and enthralling story.
The really exceptional aspect of this book (apart from the Character work), is the Galaxy (world) building, which is so intricate, so detailed, and in-depth, and comprehensive. This is such a clever and well-designed bit of Galaxy Building, there is just so much detail, with all the Characters, Ships, Planets & Locations, Technology, the Races (the aliens in this series are just so awesome), but Shepherd has captured all of it and made sure all of it links up, this is going to be so good in later books when you look back at this earlier detail, such as the names of the ex-escorts that once worked on the pleasure cruiser, that now work as respectable staff on the Patrick Henry (And there is some great discussion of the tech for this to – great research).
Of course the really outstanding factor is the Character work, Shepherd’s Characters are extraordinary, Tyler is almost a textbook case of a dozen different varieties of issues coming from his Father, but at the same time, he has a deep seated loyalty to his friends and whatever cause he decides to fight in, even if it will cost him everything, including his own life.
His relationship with the AI program aboard his ship is rather fascinating, and only goes to prove how far he will go to save something, or someone that he truly cares about. J.B. is another matter entirely, having a rather more sedate personality, but again, he is deeply loyal, and will do anything to help those he considers friends. The final sibling on the team Rosalie, appears to be helpless at times, weak almost, but she is also the most intelligent of the group, with a keen ability to understand and speak alien language, as well as some other hidden talents.
There are SO MANY Characters in this book, I could fill pages trying to review them all, from the ever hungry, but brilliant Mr Blue, the intense Inspector Platte, and the beautiful, but deadly and skilled Yumiko.
Then of course there is the exceptional collection of ladies that was once the escorts, and is now a range of other roles, and the person who looks after their equipment, and the rest of the ship, the Chief, all of these characters are just sensational, and remarkable in their own way.
Shepherd’s character work is both creative and clever, and at all times, utterly masterful in the realistic, gritty nature of each of the major and minor characters, and the quality of the detail and depth of the each of the characters.
This is another aspect of the ‘World’ building that is just astounding, and the sheer quantity of notes Shepherd must have for this series could fill a library.
Overall, as a sequel, this is a fantastic follow-up to Jump Gate Alpha, and a brilliant Part 2 to the series, as well as a sensational setup for the rest of what is going to be not only an intriguing series, but one that is just going to be so much fun. If you haven’t already started Star Lawyers – get onboard the Patrick Henry – it is one ride you don’t want to miss!!
