The Andromeda’s Ghost
by Becca Fox
Taren Platinum planned to kidnap the princess. It didn’t turn out the way he wanted. So what’s next?
What’s next is a question throughout The Andromeda’s Ghost. A repair mission on a desolate planet wasn’t as straightforward as it seemed. Once Taren encountered the ghost of the crashed spaceship Andromeda, the story turned in ways that he – and the reader – could never have expected. But it all made sense.
In The Andromeda’s Ghost, Becca Fox laid out a journey that was fun to share. Introducing the ghost allowed her to tell her tale with dialogue instead of narrative. World building is a challenge, since the author has to walk the fine line between fleshing out the setting without getting bogged down with excessive prose. The balance was terrific, using concise descriptions that made it easy to create a picture in your mind. Each new character was unique, well-developed, and interesting. The story goes into unexpected but reasonable directions, because the characters’ actions were consistent with their values. For example, when a character pops up in a place where she’s not expected, she has a reasonable explanation why.
The book is the start of The Andromeda Chronicles. I can’t wait to read her next book.
