Aftershock by Joshua Dalzelle

 

Aftershock (Terran Scout Fleet Book 5)Aftershock by Joshua Dalzelle
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Team Obsidian return and are tasked with uncovering the specifics behind the trafficking of aliens and a significant amount of humans from worlds across our part of the galaxy. Information provided by Omega Force as well as various government and underworld contacts led them towards a high level well organised operation under the auspices of the Cridal Cooperative. Investigating a private human owned mining facility in a far off solar system Obsidian find all the workers missing as well as two bodies, this leads to the team chasing down threads and fully understanding that with the fall of the Confed the galaxy is going to get more dangerous as the rule of law and the enforcement of treaties wanes.
Aftershock picked up the plot threads from previous novels in the series and from recent Omega Force novels and we are thrown into a cat and mouse chase with known and unknown entities from Earth and beyond. We follow the team as once again they throw themselves into a very entertaining adventure with mystery and action requiring some resourceful solutions all against the big picture that has been evolving from when we were first introduced to this "universe" by Joshua. A top notch addition to the Terran Scout Fleet series which does stand alone from the Omega Force novels but both series certainly benefit from each other. Highly recommend military scifi.
