If there was a sci-fi series to suck me in and make me salivate
for the next book it would be this one.
It’s a post world annihilation setting
where the remaining survivors have spent the last seventeen years looking for a
new home; stuck on different space stations the people were basically divided
in to caste such as civilians, scientist, explorers, breeders, and warriors and
intermingling is against the rules. Ros Baxter weaves a dystopian type
futuristic setting where everyone hopes to find a new world to live in and the
Avengers break the rules to live life to the fullest. The truth lies deep
beneath the surface and the Council that leads the survivors has secrets hidden
away and the people they have labeled traitors aren't what they seem.
In this second book of the New Earth series we follow
Kyntura the first and only female Avenger a class of warrior whose job it is to
defend. The Avengers has a high mortality rate, and Kyn has survived as long as
she has to become a teacher. She pushes her students to breaking points so that
they survive. To her, her job is everything and the Council’s word is law that
can be bent a little now and then but she believes in them and that they want
the best for everyone. But everything changes when Kyn is told her latest batch
of students is off to yet another possible match for New Earth and she asks to
go with them. She runs across some old friends she had to leave behind long ago
when she became an Avenger and they fight an alien race hell bent on scaring
and killing every human off the planet.
Kyn remembers when the Earth was destroyed, and like many of
the Avengers she suffers from a sort of PTSD and she frequently has flashbacks
that give insight into why she is the way she is and why she took that path. It
is an action packed and emotional story that left with an open ending for the
next book. With the feel of Starship Troopers and Battlestar Galactica The Seek is a enjoyable and exciting journey. I can tell this is just the tip of the iceberg in the series and I can't wait to discover the rest of the story.
