Review - Intersections: Dragonfire Station Short Stories by Zen DiPietro
My rating: 
This collection of short stories takes place in the universe built through the Dragonfire Station series. Most of the tales would best be described as backstories for many of the secondary characters introduced in the series. Some stories tell us how the people got to where we meet them in the series, while others might be better described as simply a slice of life in a person’s day, giving us more insight into pivotal moments of the characters or the series.

Review - Coalescence by Zen DiPietro
My rating:
Spoiler alert: You may not want to read this review of the third book in the Dragonfire Station series if you haven’t already read the first two. Fallon and her reconstituted “blackops” team, Avian Unit, are poised to save the galaxy, if they can only figure out from who. Fallon may have her memories back, but that doesn’t make it any easier to figure out who is behind the destabilization of the planetary alliance.

Review - Skythane by J. Scott Coatsworth
My rating:
Oberon is a strange half-world, a planet seemingly cut in two, with not sign of what happened to the missing half. The world is the only known source of pith, a drug with many legitimate as well as illicit uses. Only, the supply of pith seems to have dried up, so the Psych Corps sends Jameson to Oberon to investigate. His guide is Xander, a Skythane, the descendants of the original human settlers who we genetically modified to have wings.

Review - Fragments by Zen DiPietro
My rating:
The second book of the Dragonfire Station series picks up right where the first book, Translucid, left off. Fallon has reunited with her team, although not her memories, and together they have set off to earth to try and solve the mystery of why her team was split up, and her memories seemingly erased. This middle book in the series gives us a lot more insight into the main characters, although there’s no shortage of action as well.

Emé Fallon wakes up the infirmary of Dragonfire Station after a minor shuttle accident. Her injuries were mostly minor, except for a head injury that seems to have robbed her of some of her memories.

As she returns to work and tries to relearn her past, she begins to feel that things don’t add up.

Review - Phase Shift by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen
My rating:
The Chaos Station series comes to a rousing conclusion in this fifth and final volume of the series. The story starts out innocently enough, with Zed attempting to propose to Felix. But the romantic moment is interrupted by someone attempting to steal the crew’s data about the secret project that turned Zed into a super-soldier. The hunt for the thieves brings Zander and Felix up against an old nemesis, and in conflict with the Guardians themselves.

Review - Inversion Point by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen
My rating:
Zander, Felix and the crew of the Chaos are back for another adventure in the fourth installment of the “Chaos Station” series. At the very end of the previous book, humanity had just found out about the immanent arrival of a new species at the galactic hub, and “Inversion Point” follows the crew as they meet and try to communicate with the new race, with Zander as Emissary of the Guardians.

Review - Skip Trace by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen
My rating:
The third installment of the Chaos Station series kicks off with the resurrected Zed’s return to his family home, along with the rest of the crew of the Chaos. Not everyone is happy to see Zed back among the living, especially the military, who hoped his death, along with the others they experimented on to create super soldiers, would bury their embarrassing secret program. His lover Felix isn’t too happy to see Zed back in the bossom of his rich and powerful family, reminding him that he doesn’t belong.

Review - Lonely Shore by Jenn Burke and Kelly Jensen
My rating:
Spoiler alert: If you haven’t read the first installment of this series, then you had best stop reading this review now, since we can’t really discuss the second book without reavealing how the first left off. This second volume of the Chaos Station series picks up just a few weeks after the end of “Chaos Station”. Zed is trying to settle in as a member of the crew, but everyone, especially his lover Flick, knows that he is living on borrowed time.
