Gone Nova, by J.N. Chaney and Terry Maggert
From the "Backyard Starship" series, book 19
Yes. Book 19. Wow. And I've read them all so far. And enjoyed each one. I think I've reviewed them all, too, on Amazon. It's a real challenge. I mean, how do you write a review on a single book from a series?
Anyway, book 19 was great fun, and I'm looking forward to book 20, due out later this year.
There is a ton going on in book 19. Van is making use more and more of being a Master. He's encountering resistance and the politics is getting nasty. He's still tracking down various factions of the multitude of bad guys but not he also has to deal with questions like, "How bad is bad" and "Is it ok to accept help from bad guy A to deal with bad guy B"?
We do get a chance to have some fun on Earth, but, sadly, we don't get a chance to visit Frankenmuth. Which, by the way, if you haven't been to IRL, you need to visit there at least once. It's a must on any bucket list.
All kinds of crazy things happen in Van's extended family. Good news and bad. I won't give any spoilers here, you'll need to read them on your own!
Remember, read every day and read for fun!
