An engineer with a fondness for weapons. A captain with no memory. An obsessive genemodder who loves to tinker. Meet the crew of Another Road.

Josune, Roystan, and Nika have escaped the company thugs trying to kill them. They've gotten a new spaceship to replace The Road (after it was blown up underneath them). And their new ship is armed to the teeth with dangerous weapons, courtesy of Josune. All that's left to do before they head out to find the legendary lode of transurides is to restore Roystan's memory. To do that, they need to collect the genemod machine Nika has ordered.

But first, they have to shake off the Justice Department agent and the Companies tracking them.

It should be easy. They've done it before. What could possibly go wrong?

This was a great sequel to Stars Uncharted. I enjoyed visiting these characters again, and going on another adventure with them. There were a lot of things wrapped up here, but not everything. There is definitely more story for future books. The world is very interesting and I really enjoyed the backstory about the Ort. I'm looking forward to reading more. Fingers crossed it doesn't take forever for the third book to get published.
