In
a galaxy of cutthroat companies, shadowy clans and a million agendas, spy
agency RIM barely wields enough control to keep order.
Maximus
Black is RIM’s star cadet. But he has a problem. One of RIM’s best agents,
Anneke Longshadow, knows there’s a mole in the organisation.
And
Maximus has a lot to hide...
Review:
An
outstanding galactic read by Paul Collins. Action and suspense filled Dyson’s Drop.
Dyson’s
Drop is the second instalment in the Maximus Black Files.
I
haven’t had the chance to read MOLE HUNT
the first instalment of The Maximus Black files, I thought I’d struggle to
catch the main thread of the story but I found the opposite. I had no trouble
reading Dyson’s Drop. I felt it easy to read and full of great adventure, I
soon caught on to what had happened in MOLE HUNT.
Travelling
through n-space is what reminds me
of the way Jack O’Niell and his team
travelled through the Stargate on the television series Stargate-SG1 featuring
Richard Dean Anderson.
An
amazing and intriguing character was the
Envoy. He seems sneaky and yet so wise. He’s a seer and he can obviously see
great potential in both Maximus and Anneke. The Envoy appears to be mysterious,
he only tells Maximus what he needs to know. There is more to the Envoy than
you first see. It’ll be interesting to read what he does in the next instalment
of the Maximus Black Files titled IL KEDRA.
Technology
is really advanced in The Maximus Black Files. You really get the sense that it
could one day be here on our planet.
This
has to be the best believable science fiction books I have read (not that I
have read heaps of them!)
IL
KEDRA is going to be another great book and one I look forward to reading!!
5/5
