The last thing Sanda remembers is After her gunship exploding. She expected is destroyed in a battle, Sanda Greeve expects to be recovered by salvage-medics and to awaken wake up in a friendly handsmedical ward, patched-up fully healed and ready to rejoin get back into the fight. Instead However, instead she wakes up 230 years a quarter of a millenia later, on missing a deserted leg, aboard an enemy starship called The Light of Berossus - (or"Bero", as he the starship's rather grumpy AI prefers to call himself, 'Bero'). Bero tells Sanda that the war is lost. That long over, and that the entire star population of the system is dead. But The only option, it seems, is that to travel to the full story? After allnearest star system. But, in as the starship makes preparations for its decades-long voyage across the vastness of spacestars, anything it becomes clear to Sanda that something else is possible going on. . .
I'm quite impressed with the effort that O'Keefe has put into this book, being over 500 pages long, and this being her debut at that. It reminds me a lot of [[Leviathan Wakes by James S A Corey|Leviathan Wakes]] the first book of the Expanse series by James S. A. Corey, in terms of length and content. The author has left several plot threads hanging, presumably to be picked up by later books in the series.
In conclusion, this is a well-written tale of space adventure, underhanded political dealings and AI rights all wrapped up in a fast-paced plot and a well-thought-out world. A must-read for fans of [[Leviathan Wakes by James S A Corey|James S. A. Corey]] and [[Elysium Fire by Alastair Reynolds|Alastair Reynolds]].
