Publisher's Summary

A time bomb, waiting to go off....

Lucy Harris is on the run, not sure where she can turn to for help, or if help is even available. But even as her abductors chase her down, she realizes they don't just want to recapture her, they want to erase her.

When your very existence puts a planet at the risk of war, there's no choice but to do everything in your power to stay out of your enemies' hands.

A predator...waiting for the chance to pounce

The powerful AI battleship, Bane, is accompanying the United Council envoy to Tecra to mete out the punishment the Tecrans have earned for breaking UC law. He revels in the power he's about to have over his old masters. But his mission isn't only to rain down retribution on the people who kept him chained for years, he's also looking for a human woman his fellow Class 5 thinking system mentioned in the final seconds of his life. Paxe admitted to taking Lucy Harris from Earth, and Bane has been looking for her ever since.

A warrior conflicted....

Commander Dray Helvan thinks the Grih made a mistake in not pushing for war with the Tecran, but he's had to accept the compromise, that he and the other envoys from the United Council will go to Tecra and dismantle its military from the top down. His mission is not one of his choosing, but when he and his team arrive, he's handed a very different job. While he distrusts Bane on principle, when the thinking system tells him there's a woman running for her life on the planet below, he will do whatever he has to to see her safe. And if that means war for Tecra, well, then it means war.

Note: Dark Matters can be listened to as a standalone novel but is part of a larger story arc in the Class 5 series.

one of the best and most creative

the world building and the politics were both so well conceived and the writing made this a series that I gulp them down. so wish this series could continue

Very good start to the series, then just fizzled.

I really liked the first two books. Great concept good character development and a plot with many possibilities.
Books 3 & 4 just repeated the formula from the first books, Identical characters, different names but exactly like the originals.
Why did our heroines' keep walking into the clutches of the bad guys when they have the most powerful warships at their disposal ? It was getting redundant.
Why did each of these woman decide to turn their backs on grieving families back home when any of the class 5's would take them safely, secretly home? ( It just seems unlikely that 4 victims of abduction would all decide to stay and allow families at home to suffer).
So much potential, Yet it seems the author was more interested in producing a forth book than a new storyline with 3 dimensional characters. Too much cut and paste from the first books.

( Just imagine if one of the Class 5s returned home with one of our hero's, under stealth, and filled up with scientists, engineers and special forces personnel, How many more books could that had open the door for ? )
