Ship? Destroyed.

Core? Inactive.

Friends and family? Unavailable.

Alex faces the consequences of her choices on a ship full of strangers. Forced to confront a civilization built on the regulation of her kind, she has to learn and adapt to situations she never imagined. Some see her as the key to breaking a decades-old stalemate, others as a threat that will ignite the fires of war once more.

But all Alex wants is her sister and NAI companion back.

Meanwhile, Starlight Revolution must manage the aftermath as best they can to rebuild, repurposing available resources while reaffirming their status as a budding system power fit to endure both military and corporate interests. And hopefully keep their status as possessors and producers of regulated, mostly illegal technologies from getting too many people killed or worse… Hope and trust. The foundation of all enterprise. No more daunting a task than to rise again, foundation cracked.

Excellent!

Alex's continuing adventure took an unexpected turn but it feels like it was a good decision by the end of the book. You learn a lot more about the wider politics at play and our protagonist grows a lot. Meanwhile our two previous subcores continue their missions that I'm sure will pay off for Alex eventually. Now I'm really hoping book 4 gets released soon!

Kind of a confusing direction for the story

I still enjoyed this book, but the author really seemed to jump through hoops to write a book about a character in a completely different situation than the first two books. Like the book takes a number of steps to just remove every resource Alex has, and it feels very contrived. Then, the payoff for that work is that Alex... goes to boot camp. And I'm not sure why this was necessary for the plot? It feels like something Alex decides to do because she doesn't have a better idea without really trying alternatives that don't involve a multiyear commitment. Worse, she kind of succeeds because of dumb luck more than anything.

Unfortunately, the author has bought into the Hollywood perception that military training is about a shark attack sergeant deafening your ear for the entirety of your tenure. I really just can't get over how much of the reader's time feels wasted by the author's decision to belabor the R. Lee Ermey boot camp. It really drags on to the point where you think multiple days must have passed and surely you're close to moving on to advanced individual training, and then the next chapter begins, "On the second day of boot camp...." There's very little that comes out of that boot camp directly, too. It's just the people she happens to meet. So much of the middle of this book comes across as padding. I say with no shame in my heart at all that I skipped a couple chapters in the middle and would do so again. I don't feel like I missed anything.

The POV switching is also a little odd, mostly because it's still unclear what the non-Alex characters are really doing. They're just off taking care of their own things, and it feels very unrelated to anything else going on. That doesn't mean it's not interesting, it's just hard to see why we're spending time there.

The book does have a satisfying conclusion, and there's a lot revealed about the status and political nature of the galaxy. But it feels like everything was much, much more complicated than it ever had to be.

good book

good book. . . decent narrator. . . .will get the next book in the series

Great pacing and characters

This has become one of my favorite series. Amazing story and great performance by the narrator. Honestly I’ll be buying every book in this series

Another great ShipCore installment.

I very much enjoyed the continuation of Alex’s adventures. The narrator is fantastic and this book really explores a lot of interesting situations.

I didn’t love the split story format as much (two parallel stories), but it does let us see the now spread out characters and see their antics.

Looking forward to 4.0!!!
