The Warrior's Shade

The Saxen Saga, Book 2

By: Ingrid Moon

Narrated by: Scott Allen

A young officer's past comes to haunt him as he uncovers the secret behind a mysterious weapon.

A fleet for hire.

A mysterious client.

A weapon of mass destruction.

No longer a commander, Turner Boone will come to the rescue of any fleet that will pay him. However, he has done his job too well, and his clients have no need to call. His fleet-for-hire is running out of funds—and options.

Things look up when he is hired to retrieve the wreckage of an ancient terraforming machine. He soon realizes the device can be turned into a devastating weapon, and he has no idea who his well-paying client is. Caught between delivering the artifact to the client, whose methods to collect it are ruthless, and hiding his fleet from the Coalition Navy, who hunts him as a traitor, Boone faces the most difficult decision of his life.

In discovering the client's secret, his investigation goes too deep, propelling himself and the assassin, Elyon, into a Coalition trap—one that will require untenable sacrifices to avoid execution.

An adventure to sadly forget

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this is an honest review. While beautifully narrated by Scott Allen, this book didn't live up to the extraordinary intense and gritty the first book of this was. I felt neither any emotional connection, especially to the character of Boone or to any of the unfolding circumstances in this story. It didn't feel like any of it mattered, even at the end.
