Synopsis

After an epic maiden voyage that introduced Earth to a larger universe—and a cosmos full of terrifying new enemies—Captain Eric Weston and the crew of the NAC spacecraft Odyssey have spent months cooling their heels under their admiral’s watchful eye. But when Earth’s newest ally, the Priminae, strike a defense deal with the North American Confederacy, the Odyssey finally receives her orders: return to Ranquil, the Priminae’s war-ravaged homeworld, and lend badly needed support against the invading Drasin. Weston and his crew are hungry for action, yet once back on Ranquil, they realize not all is as it seems. Yes, the Drasin are a formidable foe, but Weston suspects a powerful unseen force is waging the war that could alter forever the face of the universe. Determined to unmask the mysterious puppet masters, Weston and his motley crew defy NAC protocol and venture into deep space…where they will discover an enemy unlike any they have ever faced. The long-awaited follow-up to the spectacular Into the Black: Odyssey One combines old-school space opera with modern storytelling to create an exhilarating new sci-fi adventure.

The story continues here with new discoveries, new problems and the hints of conspiracy continue. I went with 5 stars on the first one of this series and I still like it. I plan to follow it up/stay with the series. Still there's a bit of "flagging" here as it seemed we leanded a little more on the a......more

Goodreads review by Marcus on March 17, 2021

So we've upped the stakes... Currie continues to write a really enjoyable (if somewhat predictable) space opera, blasting the Season back to atoms! I'm able to follow the characters this time... Either because I remember them or there's a lot fewer of them. He's expanding the universe in interesting......more

Goodreads review by Christi on January 29, 2020

Pure fun is what this space opera/military science fiction series is. If the first book hadn't already sold me on the series, the second one surely did. Thoughts: In the first book the Odyssey One crew went on Earth’s maiden voyage into space with the first transition drive system that allows faster-t......more
