Drew Williams continues the Universe After series withA Chain Across the Dawn, an epic space opera chase across the galaxy with witty banter, fantastical planets, and a seemingly unbeatable foe. "The only thing more fun than a bonkers space battle is a whole book packed with bonkers space battles. Come for the exploding spaceships, stay for the intriguing universe."--Becky Chambers, onThe Stars Now Unclaimed It's been three years since Esa left her backwater planet to join the ranks of the Justified. Together, she and fellow agent Jane Kamali have been traveling across the known universe, searching for children who share Esa's supernatural gifts. On a visit to a particularly remote planet, they learn that they're not the only ones searching for gifted children. They find themselves on the tail of a mysterious being with impossible powers who will stop at nothing to get his hands on the very children that Esa and Jane are trying to save. With their latest recruit in tow--a young Wulf boy named Sho--Esa and Jane must track their strange foe across the galaxy in search of answers. But the more they learn, the clearer it becomes--their enemy may be harder to defeat than they ever could have imagined. No library descriptions found. |

First, it keeps its space opera background going strong. It also has a strong leaning toward science fantasy, with "The Pulse" being the huge backdrop for the story. What it also has is strong characters and a driving storyline. The level of profanity is toned back a tad, which strengthens the book, in my opinion. I wasn't distracted by the language as I read avidly to find out what came next.
The series is highly recommended for fans of science fiction/science fantasy. However, don't start with this book -- start with the first book. This is one of the cases that I would suggest checking for the omnibus volume with the sequel, The Firmament of Flame. I wish I had done that from the start since I immediately bought the sequel. ( )
