Decent followup

Enjoyed it once it got going. It was not as good as the first book. The characters were what made it entertaining. Boyatt is an excellent narrator.

Riveting

I am so glad I bought Book 2 of this series. After the appalling narration of Book 1, which spoilt it for me, it was a relief, and a real series saver for the author, to use Mark Boyett. One rider to that is; please, please, drop the scottish accent; it doesn't work. Some phraseology is not what a Scot would use and seems to revert to cockney at times. That said, cockney is preferable to the struggle with scottish accent. This is the only reason why I gave performance 4 stars, which may be a little harsh!

The continuing pace made this a book I had trouble putting down and got through it in two sessions, which was quite a feat for me. I am looking forward to the next instalment.

Title: An Engaging Sequel with a Few Writing Quirk

"The Lost Command," the second installment in the Lost Starship series by Vaughn Heppner, continues the thrilling saga of the Starship Victory and its crew. Picking up shortly after the events of the first book, the story delves deeper into the mysteries of the alien starship and introduces new challenges for Captain Maddox and his team.

The narrative revolves around the Starship Victory's new mission: locating Professor Ludendorff before the New Men, a formidable enemy, can capture him. The professor's expertise is crucial to the New Men's plan to capture the alien starship, while Maddox desperately needs the professor's help to repair neglected superweapons and rescue a stranded Star Watch fleet. As the clock ticks, tensions rise, and the crew faces dire circumstances. The book adeptly weaves together action, suspense, and a touch of mystery to keep readers engaged.

The strengths of "The Lost Command" lie in its intriguing plot developments and the expansion of the universe introduced in the first book. The introduction of new players adds layers of complexity to the narrative, while the alien personality in the AI brings a unique and thought-provoking element to the story. The blend of science fiction elements and strategic warfare tactics creates a dynamic reading experience.

However, it's important to address the writing style, which you've noted as a concern. Some aspects of the writing style, such as abrupt sentence shortening for dramatic emphasis, can indeed be jarring and might disrupt the flow for certain readers. This quirk might lead to a less immersive experience for those who prefer a more traditional narrative approach.

That being said, it's worth mentioning that "The Lost Command" still manages to offer a refreshing take on the science fiction genre. The Kindle edition's affordability and convenience, as well as the book's unique plot threads and engaging storyline, can outweigh any frustrations caused by the writing style for many readers. If you're open to exploring a different kind of sci-fi experience and can overlook occasional writing quirks, you'll likely find "The Lost Command" to be an enjoyable continuation of the series that keeps the momentum going.
