Station Breaker Series, Book 2

De: Andrew Mayne

For astronaut David Dixon, sneaking aboard a Russian space station and stealing a nuclear bomb was the easy part - now he has to survive re-entry on an untested inflatable heat shield and then deal with the aftermath of being the most wanted man on Earth.

When a clandestine intelligence agency offers David the chance to return to space and probably not get killed - he finds himself in a world of intrigue when a secret mission takes an unexpected turn as he goes undercover on an orbiting science platform in order to track down the spymaster known as Silverback.

love the book can't wait till the third one

this is just ad good as the first I have a feeling station breaker is going to be a great series

Hard SciFi With Mystery and Heart

This is the the near future I hope we'll actually see soon, with heroic men and women leading the way. All given life by Kyle McCarley's narration.

There's action, danger, suspense, mystery, and romance played out in a world of orbital space development.

What more could you want?

A Decent Sequel that continues the series

I really wanted to give this book 5 stars. I liked it. It has everything you'd expect from a sequel. More world building. More covert space missions. More extreme space problems. I enjoy the series, but book one pulled me in and didn't let go. This one was slower to start and less of a thrill ride.

If you liked the 1st book you'll like this one, it's a solid sequel. I just wish it was as fast paced and WTF as the first one from the beginning.

Andrew Mayne is Amazing

Any book you read or audio you listen to is just excellent. He has such a knowledge base that is outstanding. He must do hours upon hours of research for his books. All are a good story and plausible. And the narrator is so easy to listen to and is a favorite narrator of mine.

Good Story

Good mystery, excellent character work, and mostly good science.

The first couple of thousand words of this book should have been the end of the previous book which would have massively helped the first book, which had no real ending, and made this book more coherent. I like Mayne's writing, but this was just dumb.

In spite of the problems noted in the spoiler section, this was a very good mix of SF and mystery/suspense. While I would suggest a bit more help from people with an understanding of the science and engineering involved, I would still recommend this book.

There are some significant technical problems with the story, but I'll leave those to GoodReads, where there is a spoiler tag.
