Enemy in the Dark

Far Stars Book Two

By: Jay Allan

Narrated by: Jeffrey Kafer

The second book in Jay Allan's Far Star series, Enemy in the Dark, follows Blackhawk and the crew of the Wolf’s Claw as they are gradually--and unwillingly--drawn more deeply into Marshal Lucerne’s campaign to form a united power bloc in the Far Stars to resist imperial encroachment.

Successfully completing their mission to rescue Marshal Augustin Lucerne’s daughter, Astra, the crew of the Wolf’s Claw are enjoying some well-deserved rest—all, that is, except Blackhawk. The space gun for hire cannot escape Lucerne’s relentless pleas for help against growing imperial control in the Far Stars. While Blackhawk deeply respects his friend, he fears that the power Lucerne offers will lead him back to his old dark ways.

His resistance crumbles, however, when Lucerne presents evidence that the imperial governor has been manipulating the conflicts in the Far Stars. Convinced of the deadly danger of imperial domination, Blackhawk and his crew board the Wolf’s Claw once more and set out to gather intelligence on the Empire’s movements—the proof Lucerne needs to unite the fractured and feuding worlds of the Far Stars into single power bloc capable of resisting imperial aggression. But deep in the sparsely populated territory of the Far Stars, he discovers that the imperial governor’s machinations are far reaching—and threaten the independence of every world this side of the Void.

A man seemingly running from himself, Blackhawk is beginning to realize he can no longer remain a prisoner to his own past while the future of the Far Stars is in jeopardy.

Making space fun and fast paced.

This series caused me to binge. There was no second book slump and instead, I just went through all three immediately. If you are looking for something that will keep you engaged and able to care about the characters this series is well worth your time.

Well worth the time and cost

Entertaining, well performed. A bit of Machiavelli dynamics. It's not easy to find a story/story teller that holds my interest. This pairing did.

Bridge building Battle?

Again, amazing story with old favorites and new characters that helped it to come alive. Can hardly wait for the next book. An excellent read for anyone that enjoys becoming part of the story.

Jay Allan continues to deliver

Jay Allan and his Far Stars series has become one of my all time favorites, though I'm sure Jeffrey Kafer's voice painting the superb picture Allan continues to paint in this second of three. Blackhawk and his crew - I love'em.

The suspense!

I liked everything about this book! The author is so creative and has uncanny ability at character development.
