Carroll, Laer. Voyages of the Orphan. Space Orphan No. 3. Kindle, 2020.
In the third, and possibly last, volume of the Laer Carroll’s Space Orphan series, Jane moves quickly up the ranks of the Space Force and discovers alien artifacts at Earth’s Lagrange points and in the asteroid belt. Her integration with her AI grows stronger so that she becomes a supercomputer with a biological component, rather than a girl with a built-in computer. As she discovers why there is so much alien hardware scattered around the solar system, she is more convinced than ever. Using technologies that she and her team jumpstart, she discovers who she really is and prepares humanity to join the galactic community. Well, we knew where this story was going, but it was fun watching it get there. 3.5 stars. ( )
