Michelle was born in London, grew up in South Africa and currently lives in Australia with her husband and two children. Having worked in publishing and IT, she’s now very happy crafting new worlds and interesting characters and wondering which part of the world she can travel to next. Michelle Diener writes historical fiction, fantasy and science fiction. All opinions and views expressed here are my own. Note: I received a review copy of this book as part of my participation in the tour. I think the cover needs a little work (speaking for myself, it’s not one that catches my attention) and I can’t say it’s a book that blew my mind, but I think it’s a worthwhile read for any sci-fi fan. It was an easy read with an intriguing plot and interesting characters. I could have done without all the romance (that’s just me haha) but I think that bit was necessary for the story to work. I also liked the whole idea of Sazo and ‘his’ backstory as well as his journey into realizing himself.
It’s not unlike what we experience in our own world. It was interesting to read about the cultural differences among races. I liked the world that she created in the story and I particularly liked the ideas she had for Dav’s race. I thought Michelle Diener did a pretty good job with world building. It turned out to be alright and I did enjoy it. I tend to shy away from romance novels but this was science fiction and had an interesting premise, so I was intrigued. In this race for the truth, he’s going to have to go against his leaders and trust the dark horse. And whatever else is out there is playing its own games. The Class 5’s owners, the Tecran, look set to start a war to get it back and Dav suspects Rose isn’t the only alien being who survived what happened on the Class 5. She seems small and harmless, but less and less about her story is adding up, and Dav has a bad feeling his crew, and maybe even the four planets, are in jeopardy. The only problem is, all its crew are dead, all except for one strange, new alien being. He’s saved her from captivity and torture, but he’s also put her in the middle of a conflict, leaving Rose with her loyalties divided.Ĭaptain Dav Jallan doesn’t know why he and his crew have stumbled across an almost legendary Class 5 battleship, but he’s not going to complain. Rose McKenzie may be far from Earth with no way back, but she’s made a powerful ally–a fellow prisoner with whom she’s formed a strong bond. Some secrets carry the weight of the world. Read my review of Dark Horse by Michelle Diener and check out the giveaway for this book blast!
