Captain Gibson is a prisoner. Poruk Captain Serli has vanished. A proxy battle ensues.
Gibson finds himself trapped on the Toaxi home world. But who are the Toaxi really working for? Meanwhile, Serli finds herself a prisoner of the new enemy. Will she be able to determine the plans of the new enemy?
Meanwhile, new revelations force Gibson and Serli to rethink their past. Can both of them find a way past their histories, trust each other and risk everything to uncover the conspiracy that is unfolding in front of their very eyes?
Proxy Forces, Book 2 of Prionen Directive, is the second book in an action-packed and suspenseful Space Opera series.
Once again Matt Edsand does not disappoint his readers.
Taking off where the first book ended, this is an exciting read that takes the reader on an adventure through space meeting other species. Some of these are enemies of humans and some, although relatively recent enemies, are helpful allies against the aggressor.
I felt that I got to know the main Characters, Gibson, Shevonne and to a certain extent, Serlie and understood their dilemmas when confronted with events that caused them heartache or to have to make difficult decisions.
The different locations are so well described that I could easily imagine the pictures in my mind.
