The Dreaming Stars: Book II of the Axiom by Tim Pratt
4.0
Pratt, Tim. The Dreaming Stars. Axiom No. 2. Angry Robot, 2018.
This sequel to The Wrong Stars continues the adventures of the multi-species crew of The White Raven. Once again, they are faced with the Swarm who want to turn you into computronium and the Axiom, a group of mysterious aliens that you really don’t want to wake up. As usual, there is as much drama within the ship as there is between the ship and all these aliens. All this sounds silly and trivial, but Pratt makes all these standard space opera tropes come to life and keep entertaining us. If you like techy space opera with some work-family soap opera, Pratt does it as well as anyone.
