Lost Solace by Karl Drinkwater
4.0
This was an action packed, Alien-esque type of book - a wonderful read!
The story is of Opal, a rogue soldier, who steals a ship, but not just any ship, a state of the art experimental military ship with a very powerful AI. She need's this ship because she's looking for a lost ship. Legends say that ships lost in space tend to turn up derelict and changed somehow in a not so good way, but on them are treasures beyond wonder.
It's not a spoiler to tell you that she finds this lost ship and she boards it and battles stuff - hence the Alien-esque feel (which was really well laid out). The story was well written and kept my interest. You could really feel the danger Opal was in when she was aboard the lost ship.
The only downside was the battle against the warship Aurikaa. This battle, in my opinion, should have had a different ending. Great battle and thrilling read; but nope, shouldn't have a happened the way it did - the odds were too stacked.
Definitely a recommended read. The author did a great job creating an environment that made you want to read it from start to end in one sitting : )
