The Blurb On The Back:
Most know Androma Racella as the Bloody Baroness: a powerful mercenary whose reign of terror stretches across the Mirabel Galaxy. To those aboard her fearsome glass starship the Marauder, she’s just Andi, their captain and protector.
But when a routine mission goes awry, the crew’s resilience is tested as they find themselves in a most unfamiliar place: at the mercy of a powerful bounty hunter connected to Andi’s past and a harrowing betrayal.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Sasha Alsberg and Lindsay Cummings’s YA SF space opera novel (the first in a series) has some interesting ideas but is hampered by stilted characters (who seem too old for a YA book), bouncing point of views (at least 5) such that it was difficult to keep track of who was who, a tedious romance, predictable plotting and bloated over-writing such that I really didn’t enjoy it and was relieved to get to the end.
ZENITH was released in the United Kingdom on 11th January 2018. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
