The science vessel, Hermes, has been urgently recalled from its mission to survey the moons of Saturn, just as First Officer Miranda Lee receives bad news from home-her mother is dying so she must leave the ship and return to Earth-for good. Commander Scott McNabb is so distraught by her sudden decision to leave that he pays little or no attention to the parameters of the new mission being requested by the Council of Europa.
Big mistake.
Powerful forces on Earth are now moving to resume inter-AI communications, risking the development of an all-out war. But other powers within the System are also mobilizing to prevent them from achieving their objective. Scott and the remaining crew of the Hermes are totally unaware that they are now at the very nexus of an inter-planetary battle-and ultimately heading toward disaster.
As the mission starts to fall apart Scott begins to realize the secrets that the ship’s QI, Aria, has been hiding from them all along. Secrets that could tip the balance of power within the System. He must now put aside all thoughts of Miranda and focus on trying to save his crew-including Aria. Failure to do so could ultimately plunge the entire System into total chaos.
No pressure, then.

I just binged book 1 in one long listening session and I'm zooming right on to book 2. Thanks so much for these books. You're a great author.

[@offkeychris123]

Loving the story. I'm just amazed how the narrator remembers which voice goes with which character! 😄

[@mingbritson]

Another well-written tome -- love the characters, pacing and overall story -- thanks for sharing!!!

[@GeraldMKilbyAuthor]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@DidYouSayEllo]

Thank you for these. I was a CNA for 11 years. I loved helping people and watching them get better or at least, help them be more comfortable. I especially like helping people going through detox, mental instability (dementia, suicide attempts, etc) and hospice. I feel they don't get enough respect so I can at least treat them like people. Everyone has a story... ...but then I got sick. It's not Covid but right before (a couple weeks probably) Covid hit, that's when everything happened. I've been sick for a few years but they still don't know what caused everything. They are thinking something triggered everything. My organs are doing weird things but they aren't killing me at least. I have Meniere's Disease (vertigo on crack that can make you go deaf), chronic hives a few other things. I haven't been able to get out of bed for a couple years now. Audiobooks are one of the things I can always enjoy, regardless of how much energy I have or if I feel like I'm on fire. I listen to audiobooks near 24/7. I even fall asleep to them which gives me some pretty awesome action adventure dreams. Problem is, I am also on disability so my funds are extremely limited. Audiobooks can get expensive when you don't have an income. This is why I thank you. You are one of the people helping me stay sane while I search for answers.

[@hawkforce4295]

You’re not alone in your turmoil, I’m also on disability and listen to lots of stories each month and yes, very cool dreams! LoL hang in there. The human body is very amazing and will pretty much take care of itself given time and proper nutrients.

[@DidYouSayEllo]

@@hawkforce4295 I'm too stubborn to give up so no worries. It's sounding like it may be something autoimmune related. Meniere's Disease autoimmune related and I feel whatever triggered that, also triggered everything else. Once we figure out the root cause, we'll be able to treat/manage whatever is going on. I do have several things nutritional that are off but we're already treating that in a variety wise but, again, it comes down to what is the cause. As a matter of fact, turning myself into a case study has helped my mental health as well. I don't self diagnose, I just watch for changes, patterns, triggers, progression, things that have resolved and so on. Before I did that, I felt like I had no control and that triggered my anxiety terribly. I couldn't focus on anything beyond the pain. My mental stability is so much better now. It hasn't stopped my pain but now I can still enjoy some things...such as audiobooks.

Oh I can't wait for the next one! Thank you for sharing these stories with us Gerald. I've listened to the first episode twice now as I always relisten to the previous episodes when you release a new one, that way I am reminded about what happened before and the nice thing is even listening to the stories over again they are just as good or even better because I hear something I missed listening the first time. That is the way a series should be in my opinion

Xenon? Who is this? I have heard of Zenen Hybrid. Also what happened to him? Hadn't heard anything about or from him since his offer to take them on a tour. Nothing about him on the ship or being kidnapped or the firefight soon after. Or even anything when they got to Mars. I would have thought that they would be having to hold him back from charging at the enemy, (un armed) to take them on. Zenen was a fighter as well as a scholar. It's like he vanished. While I like how this is following the Colony on Mars. I wish the Authur had spent more time on this part. Maybe catch the reader up on the happenings on Mars or something. Just a short meeting in the garden just seems a bit short considering it's background and buildup from the authors books. Glad superwomen (Miranda) is ok. Haha.

I'm 1/2 way through the 2nd book, and it's extremely well written with an intriguing plot. I'm enjoying it, BUT... the protagonist is a weak and niave beta-male.
