A.I. Destiny #4
Destiny Stone
Everyone wants something.
Snark wants Seasprite, owned by Anna, who seeks the Destiny Stone.
Jamie wants Anna, but she’s obsessed with the Stone, so he wants the Stone to give to her.
Warspite wants to end the secrecy of his presence on Seasprite.
The enigmatic and evil Brotherhood want the Stone, and don’t care how many die in the process.
Jane cares how many die, but is busy building her Kingdom, making alliances across four sectors, ensuring Duke Fred sorts out Cat World issues, and enlisting her AI brethren to stave off boredom, and join in the quest for the Stone.
The big news everywhere is Seasprite, the only Human ship beyond Hunter's Run, but the worry is the swathe of destruction which follows her course through sector eight.
Signs, portents, visions, and maps found along the way, define a dangerous quest.
As ship and crew get further away from friends, is it possible to make new friends to offset enemies?
At the heart of everything is the Destiny Stone, real or imagined.
Snark doesn’t know if it’s real.
But mop heads or not, he’s going to see this quest through, regardless of the consequences.

(New info added at the bottom, in response to feedback and reviews.)
Timothy Ellis lives on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia; where he constantly battles with his cat for possession of his desk chair, Daleks do guard duty, and he keeps his sonic screwdriver next to his lightsaber and wand. Now there is a female Doctor Who, he eagerly awaits the sound of the Tardis materializing in his house.
He has spent his life reading and watching science fiction and fantasy, and has been playing Space Genre computer games since he used to be smuggled in to play the original text Star Trek game on a university mainframe, long before the PC or Apple appeared. Since 2004, he's written game guides for the Egosoft X Universe series, culminating in two versions of the X3 Handbook. He has also designed major mods for the various games, and dozens of mini mods.
He has been a farm worker, Antique Dealer, Computer Programmer, Systems Analyst, Operations Manager of a small retail chain, and Retail Store Owner. He is now a full time author, who still does Spiritual Healer and helper work.
After leaving behind the corporate and business worlds, he was opened to his Spiritual gifts. Now a Feng Shui Master, Feng Shui led him to Buddhism, Karma, the Tao, and back to western spiritualism. Since 2006 he has been writing spiritual articles and helping people via spiritual forums and Facebook Groups. His spiritual books include "Personal Healing Using Basic Meditation", "Life Harmony, Feng Shui in Plain English", '101 Tips for the John of God Brazil Experience', and "The Wisdom of the Ages is available for the price of asking a question" series of 8 books. His own spiritual healing led him to writing novels.
His first novel, 'Hero at Large', spawning the long running 'The Hunter Imperium' universe, brings together his love of the space genre, magic, spirituality, and cats. Now 10 series long, the universe covers 3 galaxies, 4100 years, and as at Dragon Imperative, 62 Novels, 7 shorts, and 2 companion books. There are 7 main entrance points across 10 series: Hero at Large, Admiral of Gaia, Yesterday's Spacemage, Crossover, Midshipman Spacemage, Old Magic, and Dragon Rider. Alternate entrance points if you don't need backstory first, are Adrift and Mage King, although Dragon Rider has 3 books before it about the dragons.
If you wish to be kept up to date with new releases and information in The Hunter Legacy Universe series, subscribe here: http://eepurl.com/bqMgVz, and follow on Amazon, Goodreads, or BookBub.
The fastest way to find out about a new release is my Facebook group/page, which get advance warning about 2-4 days before release, and again when the book is uploaded to Kindle; and my email list which goes out as soon as I have an Amazon page for the new book. Bookbub will let you know about 3-4 days after I remember to tell them.
I normally will release in advance of the specified release date whenever possible, so if you are a Kindle Unlimited reader, you will want another method to be notified of the actual release date, so you can read on day 1.

What is the Destiny?
Snark, Jamie, Anna and the other cats face a steep learning curve in regard to the ship, their quest, and understanding reality. I like the action, strategy, morality, humor, and romance. The interactions of the IAs with each other is intriguing. I like the way they look after their human friends. Will Jamie and Anna get together? I look forward to the next book.

Great book
Lots of interesting characters and lots of action. My favorite kind of book. My only complaint is not enough jane. I'd really like to read more about her. Her story isn't finished. More jane please

The side story continue
Beware: these 3 books (starting from Snark's Quest) is a kind of side story that affect the main timeline of Hunter's Run. Think Rogue One to Star Wars. And it has very high quality comparable to the main timeline.

Only my opinion
Snark is a real character. But I have known people like him. Again Mr. Ellis has delivered good entertainment. I will keep reading

More Ellis fun
As always, great space opera. Even a new galaxy to explore. I highly recommend this series, but read the Hero series first.

More fun
Furry or not the false front of unskilled living slips. Nice to include parties, bears, pirates, deern and romance too.

This is light reading and not difficult but not amazing either. Started skimming and skimping over some of it. I hope the author returns the story to Jane, I really like the first two books in the series.
