Thor Stokel had always dreamed of being master of his own ship, and the Silver Star is a dream ship: fast, sleek and powerful. But leaving the safety of his military career in the DHC behind to become an independent merchant fast becomes a nightmare of endless solo flights, paperwork, bad deals and customs disasters.

When he's imprisoned over the latest customs and paperwork mistake, Thor's luck finally starts to change. Incarceration leads to his first crewmate - and then a second. But it also leads to an increase in his paranoia: something doesn't add up about his beautiful new ship, the AI is erratic, and he's increasingly sure that his crewmates are hiding something. And now he thinks the Silver Star is being followed . . .

Exhausted, isolated, and still just trying to make ends meet, Thor Storkel is either the most paranoid man in space . . . or he's a vital part of a galaxy-spanning conspiracy, that's going to depend on his being paranoid enough to survive it . . .

. . . And Marca N'baro still needs a whale . . .©2025 Miles Cameron Adventure First Contact Science Fiction Space Opera

Cameron delivers another banger in this series - a series that is going from strength to strength. Looking forward to the next book!

Outstanding Space Opera

I felt that this was a bit of a letdown after Artifact Space and Deep Black (and Beyond the Fringe). While there was adventure and intrigue, the second half felt quite slow by comparison.

I liked most of the characters, but felt that the main character, Storkel, was by far the least interesting. Like the other books in the series, I would have liked more morally grey people, rather than most characters either being very nice or very nasty.

Like books 1 and 2, the narrator was clear and easy to understand, but again made numerous pronunciation errors, and read some sentences wrong, all of which should have been caught before release.

So, I did enjoy this book, but not nearly as much as the others.

(Among the words that were mispronounced in the trilogy were: chaff, aft (in books 1 and 3), Ontario, "close" in "close-in weapons", dose, ensign, and heroism.)

Disappointing; narration still full of mistakes
