Reviewer: Dolce Amore
The ghost of Admiral Sedric Rimon provoked an out-of-body experience for Major Karen O’Reilly, of the Allied Nations of Earth Space Agency (ANESA) so he could reach his son, Commodore Caradoc Rimon.
Caradoc needs to solve the mystery of Napier’s destruction and find his sister; Karen needs to find Captain David Alexander and his alien wife Captain Zara Darien with their starship Stardust, then locate Shimura and make contact with the Alliance.
During her search, Karen gains the ability of astral travel and finds Zara, visits Caradoc again and again and pulls him too in an astral travel. When she finally reaches Shimura, she meets Caradoc, in the flesh. However, although their souls are bonded, he has already an intended mate and a Rimon never reneges on their word.
Now that the spirit of Caradoc’s father told them that there were survivors, including Caradoc’s sister, they will search for them.
Although it was an interesting book with a quite unique approach, I have to say that I found the characters lacking. The men from 2025 are determined to dominate women, or, at least, dominate Major Karen O’Reilly; the Shimuran are supposed to be a peaceable race who put the welfare of others first, but they are fighters too and one almost kills Karen. For six years, Caradoc was searching for the starship that disappeared while carrying his family, but when he discovers that there are survivors, he doesn’t search for them! That, along with some minor *errors, made me rate this book 3.5 stars.
