Publisher's Summary:

The people of Stephen's Point have put years into rebuilding the Chimera, their last hope for a return to Earth. As preparations continue, the ancient ship sleeps, bound by her strict protocols. Theo Puck finds himself drawn to the mysterious girl from the rim, Selena Samuelson, convinced that she holds the secret to waking the Chimera.

Meghan Ziczek watches as Theo and Selena grow closer, but the fulfillment of her own dreams of leadership give rise to a growing respect for the outsider. Marcus, too, wants the Chimera woken. But unlike Meghan, his leadership has nothing to do with saving Stephen's Point - his hatred for Selena is nearly equal to the desire to control Theo. Will his dark impulses overwhelm them all?

When an exchange ship suddenly bursts through from Fractal Space, celebration erupts. Contact with Earth has been reestablished, the colony is saved from the brink of starvation...or are they? Instead of much-needed food and supplies, the exchange ship is full of nothing but the dead - a gruesome and horrifying delivery. With Earth's fate called into question, Stephen's Point descends into chaos.

Tasked with fulfillment of the rebuild and return mandate, Chief Moorland will stop at nothing in her quest to wake the Chimera and prepare the ship's young crew. But can anything prepare them for what they might face at Earth? In the explosive new chapter to the Universe Eventual series, Helios will leave you breathless.

White knuckle expansion to the Universe Eventual saga!

Iâm loving the Universe Eventual world, and Helios just blew the doors off this evolving saga. The characters that we met in Chimera leap off the page as they coax the dormant space cruiser Chimera back to life. But as they enter deep space on their journey toward the burning world, old tensions riseâ and then explode. The descriptions of fractal space rocked me like the spaciest of Jimi Hendrix jams, whereas (spoiler alert) some of the battles faced by our heroes got freaky medieval. What they find at the end of their ride shook me to the core, and now Iâm just kinda pissed that book 3 ain't out yet. Hurry up and publish that book N.J. Tanger!

Great 2nd Book In the Series

I am a self-admitted book worm, and I have been the majority of my life. Here lately, I gravitate towards suspenseful books. Although not always my first choice (because of my age), I do also read YA novels. The majority of the YA novels that I read are very science fiction leaning. Because of this, I was very excited to get a chance to review the first book in this series. I had absolutely no issue with paying for the second book! Here are my thoughts on this book:

Pros: All of my favorite characters are back, especially my absolute favorite character, Theo. This book was very well written. It surprises me to know that it was written by three separate authors, because everything flows so well together. I love that all of the characters are really well developed. That helped me become invested in all of the main characters, even though I donât always like that actions that they take (Marcus, ahem).

Cons: None really. I didnât too much care for the way it ended, but as I have also read the next book in the series, my main gripe with this one is a moot point.

All in all, this book was very well written, and I flew threw it in one day.
