Off Indigo Station by Marc Alan Edelheit ~ a Review

by MK French

As the unexpected head of the Confederation task force, Jim Garrett was responsible for decisions that could save or end millions of lives. Lima-66 is a star system that is central to the factories that the enemy is using to build fleets that can break humanity. They're preparing a secret weapon, so attacking Lima-66 is not only central to saving humanity, but gaining that weapon can ensure survival.

Off Indigo Station is the third book in the Guardians of the Dark Book series, and you absolutely have to read the other two books first (check out my reviews of book 1 and book 2). We pick up in the war room, planning a raid to take out enemy forces. The information about Lima is old, and the humans once plugged into the enemy network are still convinced it was the voice of God. Everyone is tense and ready to launch, destroying the mothballed fleet to retake Indigo Station. Of course, it's not that simple, with more surprises from the enemy, and the different teams must scramble to finish the job. 

The book remains planted firmly in space opera territory, with space battles and a fight for survival. I liked seeing Tabby and Knox bond for a moment; she's unsure of herself and doesn't see herself as a leader. Readers will recognize how Tabby feels, and it's a very human connection before the battle begins. We learn more about the enemy as the characters do, and it raises more questions about the alien civilization and the Push. There are multiple battles, and the devastation of war is even more evident here. I'm one who prefers interpersonal relationships more than battles and tactics, and this novel has more military action than prior ones.
