Ryk Brown: The Big Bang Theory Episode 2 - An Explosive Adventure

Mike Nemeth: In the first episode of Part 3, Nathan Scott and his band of merry crewmates aboard the Aurora fly straight into an artificially generated singularity at the center of a black hole and come out 535 years in the future. They had no choice as their enemies unleashed an unfamiliar weapon that created a mini black hole. But the risk proved nearly fatal to the brand new spaceship and all hands. In "No Risk Too Great," Nathan must try to salvage his mission and square it with his new location in time and space. The Aurora crash lands on a sparsely inhabited planet in the fringe of space. Most of the ship's systems don't work. Survival is the directive in "No Risk Too Great," and it doesn't look good. While trying to resurrect the Aurora, disaster strikes, and Nathan must decide whether to sell his soul to the devil or let his best friend die. This intense installment keeps the reader's adrenaline flowing. At least it did for me.

Greengrasshopper: Ryk has done it again despite the agony of waiting until the next episode to come it is a thrilling and exciting story that constantly keeps you on your toes waiting for the next plot twist. The characters are all great and the continuity of the story is exceptional.

Lima: Ryk Brown.....WOW.... The Frontiers Saga. Just simply the best. The only problem with this series of books is the time between each new release. I find myself searching around other scifi writers to provide "fillers" . Some are good, others not so. I certainly haven't found anything that provides the enjoyment of Ryks ongoing tales involving Nathan, Jessica, Vlad etc, etc. Having said that.... we're now in the "dark time" waiting for the next installment.......

Lawrence R: I love this series. Mr. Brown is a very good writer and I’m not. Lol. I’m not very good at writing reviews so I’ll make this brief. I have read all the series except the ones concerning the plague that started the whole thing. I eagerly download the books almost as soon as they’re released and enjoy them tremendously. I have resisted until now the urge to say anything about this because these stories exudes quality in such abundance that I hate to say anything that seems like nit-picking, but I wanted Mr. Brown to know that using the word “wonder” is good in that a person wonders about something, but to spell “wander” as “wonder” doesn’t work to say that a person or a ship “wonders around the galaxy. The person or ship “wanders” around the galaxy. I hope that I haven’t insulted anyone’s intelligence here.
Way back in part one where the Aurora was in a battle where light minutes and such were used to describe seeing an enemy ship was light minutes ahead of them and so on, I questioned the math. It didn’t seem to be possible because of the speed of light being what it is. I don’t know enough about that sort of thing; put it...

StarbooksIH: Episode one was setting up the new and quite different place our favourite crew finds itself in, and very well done. This book starts with finding out about the part of the universe they now live in. And there is a lot to learn. They find some allies but it's not clear how much they can trust them. Then disaster strikes and they have to venture into places uncertain to save the life of a friend. Lots of risks, Jessica has some of her characteristic moments. Loved them, as always.
Then suspence rises to top level, I had some time biting my nails. And then! You gotta read those final pages, simply amazing! I absolutely loved it.

Matthew Radford: I liked the book, however, I don't understand why it takes so long between each book. I read the book in its entirety in 6.5 hours yet I have to wait months in between books. For such a short book , why so long to get them????

Mike Schackel: I have read all of the Frontiers Saga books so far, and I eagerly anticipate each new book Ryk Brown adds to these series. The characters are well written, and the action is always compelling. I always end up skimming paragraphs because I am so caught up in the action, I want to know how it gets resolved.

Very light spoilers ahead!

It's no secret from the previous book that the Aurora moved forward in time, and in this book we slowly learn how much time has passed. This revelation effects the crew in various ways, and they need to find a way to live with it. Not only is the Aurora damaged and stuck on a planet, their technology and knowledge are woefully out of date. They need allies, but not only that, they need a purpose. Captain Scott has to decide what to do, once they learn that the Alliance he fought so hard to create in the previous series appears to not be what he envisioned. There are also wrongs being committed out in the Badlands that they find themselves in, that the moral part of Captain Scott has a clear pull to try and right. This book starts to lay in what's next for Captain Scott and the rest of the Aurora personnel. Along the way,...
