The Phoenix Conspiracy by Richard L. SandersMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Calvin Cross is sent to find a rogue battleship and arrest or kill Asari Raidan, former Captain of the ISS Phoenix and fugitive from “justice”.
He finds himself saddled with Commander Summers Presley, former XO of the Phoenix, as his XO. There is more than a little friction between them.
A Lieutenant Commander in Intel Wing, Cross is not stranger to investigations. His research into Raidans' actions and motives gains him knowledge that makes him doubt Raidans' guilt and puts him and his crew in danger. And that's just the beginning.
Will the Empire survive? Who are the good guys? Bad guys? I don't know yet, I've only read four of the six book series but I am definitely going to read the rest.
Outstanding writing. Plenty of action, emotional interaction, conspiracies, organized criminal families, other shady and dangerous people, aliens, etc.
Mr. Sanders writes about people, and other characters, that seem to be real.
Highly recommended.
