A Hop, Skip and a Jump

Family Law Series, Book 4

By: Mackey Chandler

Narrated by: Joe Hempel

Lee has a lot going for her: tons of money, true friends who will stand by her, an unexpected bonus of extended life from advanced medical treatments, and a start at unraveling some of the pesky secrets in the stars. But there is so much to do to take advantage of all these opportunities that she's overwhelmed.

Keeping all they've gained may not be easy. Their new allies have received a follow-on delegation from their home world who seem determined to undo everything they accomplished. The Earthies seem inclined to oppose their new exploration claims, and even her helpful new friends from Central are a problem. They seem less forthcoming than she expected, and the fellow Gabriel who lent them a hand turns out to be entirely too friendly for her taste.

Eventually everybody is going to find out Lee isn't just a sweet little girl if you keep getting in her way.

Another good story by Mackey Chandler

Good story.
This book does a better job than previous one’s of ending the book on at a natural point in the story vs a cliffhanger.
The story remains engaging with interesting activities and fun new characters.
The authors use of “earth, humans” versus “space humans and the related cultures” does a good job of capturing the fight between centralist governments and freedom minded individuals.
The authors exploration of how society will change when lives get longer is interesting.
Watching Lee’s mannerisms, actions and interactions change over the series due to gaining experience is fun.
Keep making more books.

Overly complicated

as an audio book, this novel would have been greatly helped by location cues in the chapter headers, lots of jumping around, that led to confusion as to where and who people were.
