How much would you sacrifice to save your friends, your home, and your way of life? Would you sacrifice your pride, your job, your home, and possibly even the friendship of those closest to you, if that meant saving them from certain death by an alien race?

These are choices that Craze and his friends face in Freefall, Backworlds #7 by M Pax, and the author keeps the tension ratcheted up to an eleven with new twists and turns, relationships in turmoil, and action-packed scenes that leave a reader glued to the page/screen.

Character-driven but action-filled, the Backworlds series always keeps me engaged with its fresh perspectives on alien life forms, cultures, and an in-depth look at what it means to be both sentient and caring. Not everyone is strong enough to stand for what’s right, no matter the cost. Not everyone wants to.

Trust is a tough commodity in a universe filled with strangers and double-crossing family members. Friends are the only thing Craze has to rely on, but in Freefall, he is faced with the prospect of losing them as he works with an alliance of former enemies to deal with an even greater threat.

Fans of Firefly and Farscape will enjoy this sci-fi series. It’s a worthwhile ride.
