Intercession
AD 3486
Things are changing on the idyllic planet known by the primitive inhabitants simply as Aeden.
Well, it had been idyllic. Reapers had come to steal Aeden’s exotic biology, leaving the planet scarred and countless creatures stolen or killed. But they had fought back, and the Reapers and the invaders who brought them had finally been destroyed.
Aeden was suffering, but life must be replenished in order to restore the balance, and for the planet to be able to fulfil its purpose.
Still, it itched something fierce.
Taylor Neeran was doing everything she could to help, but exactly how do you heal a planet? When the first of several unexpected visitors arrives, Taylor would find her world changed forever…and the galaxy along with it.

Poignant
This, the third book in the Taylor Neeran Chronicles, brings out so many different feelings. Happiness, sadness, anger, determination, poignancy and on and on. The series as a whole is predicated on a totally novel world. I was going to say civilisation but the Illiya and Aarden, although civilised in many ways, are also primitive. Taylor has ‘gone native’ as it used to be said. There are none of the trappings of a modern civilisation, not even chairs! The world building is exemplary! It is very easy to envision yourself there. Taylor’s character has grown and evolved to the point that she takes no nonsense from anyone and shows how ruthless she can be, especially in defence of her children and family. For her, her family includes the whole planet! It is sometimes difficult to realise that she is still only twenty.
A Xathen level Three who takes on a Xathen level Two, in fact the highest of Twos! With the enemies around her she needs to remember the old saying ‘Beware of Greeks bearing gifts!’.
Very satisfying and stays with you.

Amazing
Book three of Taylor Neeran Chronicles was probably the book with the most information and detail of the three books so far. Her growth as a character, although she hardly changes in her morals, her becoming who she is destined to be was rapid and thrown at her like a fastball. The authors writing this book shows his true talents, the story did not confuse or leave one looking for more answers. Wonderful, descriptive and clearly written for all who enjoy a good alien sci-fi book!! Looking forward to the next installation. A true entertaining find.

Book 3 lives up to the promise of the two earlier novels....Another high recommendation goes out to readers and the author! It's difficult to find a place to stop reading for the night, because something else is right around the corner. We're in for another wild ride in this galaxy and particularly on a remote planet that is struggling to move forward politically, culturally, scientifically, etc. Enjoy!

Great read
This is a great read. Taylor has had to grow up very quickly whilst helping the planet & her people recover. Not only that but she has to help explain pregnancy & birth & help get the populace ready to handle babies! All this whilst coping with people who want to kill her. It's a tough job but someone has to do it.

A lot of nonstop action
There is a lot going on in this one . Taylor is more mature and the complexity and connections of life on the is great. I love this series. Never a dull moment.

Love this series. Found this one a little tiring. So much action, almost non-stop. Would be a great television show.

This series gets better and better, can’t wait for the next one.

This is an intimate look at a deceptively primitive planet planet in a grand sprawling space opera universe. This book has some huge reveals and does an interesting job dealing with a society undergoing rapid changes as well as interplanetary politics and family disputes. Don't think about the science too much and the story is much more enjoyable.
This is the third book in the series, but contains enough information that it can be read enjoyably independently of the previous books. It does contain spoilers for previous books and I would highly recommend reading all in order. Reminded me a bit of Anne Mcaffrey's Ship Who Sang and Kevin J Anderson's Seven Suns Saga
