** I received a review copy from the author.
Hounds of Gaia was a book that I enjoyed overall. It had an action-packed story with plenty of mystery and a compelling hook. The characters were fun and engaging. I had some issues with the writing, but the reading experience was still enjoyable. On the whole, it is an entertaining and exciting piece of science fiction, and a good start to a new series.

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for my honest opinion. Sci-fi isn't my usual go-to genre but I found this to be a really creative story. Tirman did a great job at keeping readers on their toes and leaving them on a cliffhanger. I know I have a lot of unanswered questions that I am craving the answers to and I can't wait for more. If you like action, adventure, sci-fi, and mystery then this book could be great for you. Find my full review here: https://likelystory.blog/2023/11/23/review-hounds-of-gaia-by-sean-m-tirman/

Hounds of Gaia is the first book of The Marrower Saga Trilogy & the first novel written by Tirman. This book transported me to a different world! It’s not the typical genre I’m used to reading, but from the moment I picked it up, I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. This novel was action packed from the getgo & I think the last time I was this excited to read the next book in a trilogy was when I read The Hunger Games!
Foxhound is a contractor hired to capture criminals throughout the solar system. She is contacted by The Divine Church of the Omniphage, a secretive cult that resides on Earth & prides itself on the research & advancement of humanity. Foxhound is tasked to capture the serial killer known as The Marrower. With a ship already full of her captured criminals & an Ai named Mailman, Foxhound sets off on what she thinks will be an easy capture.
“This was not the work of a man. It was not the product of a selfish desire for power, money, or any of the other fleeting things humans too often sought out. This was something else entirely. It was unadulterated chaos, like that committed by the majestic beasts of Ancient Earth long before mankind had so carelessly brought upon their extinction. This was a thing of nature. And yet, there was something unnatural to it, as well—a symmetry. The natural and unnatural, bound in perfect harmony. A Fibonacci spiral of extremities and entrails.”
