Book Description:
In the second installment of the award-winning Horizon series, Dr. Caeli Crys returns to her war-torn world to fight for those she left behind.
Almagest, Caeli’s home, stands on the brink of revolution. Long hidden from the rest of the galaxy, the once-peaceful planet suffers under a regime that grows more violent and oppressive by the day. Marcus, Almagest’s dictator, is building an arsenal of alien weaponry by selling empathic children into slavery. A resistance has risen, but they are outmanned, outgunned, and in hiding.
Joined by Commander Derek Markham and his elite squadron of operatives, Caeli embarks on a dangerous mission to find the Resistance, rescue her captive people, and save her civilization from destruction.
My Take:
In the second book in the Horizon series, the reader catches up with Caeli and Derek after they have left Almagest and Caeli has settled in a bit with Derek's family. She has returned to her work as a doctor and things feel safe for her. Of course that can't last.It soon becomes apparent that Almagest is in great peril and Derek and his crew head back to try to stop Marcus from selling empathic children into slavery and protect the planet from outside influence and exploitation.
Infinity is just as exciting as Horizon - with lots of factions and battles and intrigues. But the thing I enjoyed the most was learning more about the history of the planet and its civilization and how they ended up where they are. The history was fascinating and I am looking forward to finding out more.
One of the aspects of the novel that really resonated with me was the idea of the downfall of a whole civilization due to the decisions of a few powerful and devious people. This concept isn't really new, but it felt fresh and especially important as handled by Tabitha Lord in Infinity. I am very much looking forward to reading the next installment in the Horizon series. I can't wait to see where the story goes and what happens to Caeli and Almagest. As with Horizon, I will be suggesting Infinity to my friends and anyone who likes science fiction.
