I found so much interest in both sides even if they weren’t particularly on the same side at the time. There are a few characters in this story but the main ones are Brecca, Frim, and the AI named Lyra. I would say its crazy action but its cool that it immediately went into something interesting because it totally hooks you in. The story already starts with some action due to the alien invasion that took over the planet Daros. I decided I wanted to have insight on what happened so I read it and it did help a lot. Dave Dobson did provide a section where it explains the history which led to the situation Daros starts with completely allowing the reader to decide whether they want to start with a back story or not. I will also be honest and say that I did not read the synopsis making it a contributing factor to my confusion. At first, I was a little confused telling the characters apart because the chapters are quite short and it did change from one character to the next rather quickly making the beginning of the book a little confusing.

I also want to thank Dave Dobson for sending me a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.ĭaros is definitely a fun Sci-Fi to read. I want to start off by saying thank you to Escapist Book Tours for having me on this book tour.

It is humorous at many points, but it focuses primarily on the characters and their adventures rather than the jokes. What are they doing in the midst of all this? And will the captain kill her just for revealing this disagreeable news?ĭaros is a classic space opera with aliens, weird technology, an invasion, distant worlds, and space travel. And then she notices a whisper of radiation above Daros – the trail of a cloaked Vonar ship. On the flagship of the invading fleet, Navigator Frim tries to persist within the cruel autocracy of the Zeelin Hegemony, under constant threat of death, but wishing for something better. The Envy’s Price is crippled, and as her father tries to guide it down from orbit, Brecca rescues the illicit artifact and jettisons in a life pod to an uncertain fate below.

Materializing out of nowhere, alien invaders fire upon all ships, destroy the jump gate, and knock out communications. Nellen Vereen shows her a mysterious artifact bound for a contact below, one that will earn them a lot of credits, and one that they definitely won’t be declaring to customs. High above Daros, sixteen-year-old Brecca Vereen prepares to unload a cargo of trade goods aboard her father’s ship, the Envy’s Price.
