Cargando... Overload Fluxpor Carol Van Natta
![]() Ninguno Actualmente no hay Conversaciones sobre este libro. ![]() ![]() Natta, Carl Van. Overload Flux. Central Galactic Concordance No. 1. Chavanch, 2014. Overload Flux bills itself as a space opera mystery romance. The blurb could also include bioengineering and extrasensory powers. One of the protagonists, Luka Foxe, is a forensic investigator who gets vivid visions of the killings when he investigates a murder scene. At times, his emotional response to what he sees can render him almost catatonic. He does everything he can to conceal this vulnerability. The firm he works for hires Mariwen Morganthur, a security guard, to protect him. She, too, has special abilities she wants kept secret. She is a bioengineered, highly trained tracker-assassin who wants to leave her old profession behind and live a normal life. But she cannot resist revealing her special abilities when she rescues Foxe from kidnappers with lethal intent. This odd couple discover they are kindred, complementary souls with a strong sexual attraction toward one another. And yes, some of the action takes place on a starship in interstellar space. 3.5 stars. Well designed universe There is some serious depth here. A lot of world building to set up a slow arc over several books, but none of it interferes with the book in progress. Jumpers, ship jackers, trackers...levels of complexity that point to a massive amount of unseen detail work. I appreciate that the author didn't force feed us endless explanations of those details, but I can see their presence. But it all boils down to detective work. And the mystery keeps the plot moving forward. There are some details that get glossed over, and the last bit is too coincidental...or maybe my paranoia is showing. There is a romance on a slow boil, and there are two explicit sexual scenes. I am going right now to buy or pre-order the sequel. Best recommendation I know how to give.

Brilliant investigator Luka Foxe must act fast if he's going to save the civilized planets of the Central Galactic Concordance. For as a pandemic sweeps across the galaxy, someone is stealing the vaccine. To make matters worse, Luka's hidden mental talents are out of control, leaving him barely able to function in the midst of violence and a rising body count. The convoluted trail leads to a corrupt pharma industry and the possibility of an illegal, planet-sized laboratory. In the face of increasing threats, he must rely on an enigmatic, lethal woman who has secrets of her own. Mairwen Morganthur hides extraordinary skills under the guise of a dull night-shift guard. The last thing she wants is to provide personal security for a nova-hot investigator, or to be plunged into a murky case involving sabotage, treachery, and the military covert operations division that would love to discover she's still alive. Worse, she knows that two more deaths won't bother their enemies one bit. Their only hope for survival is to share their darkest secrets. With everything in their universe at stake, can they learn to trust one another? Contains mature themes. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
