Starseers Fallen Empire Book 3 eBook Lindsay Buroker
The Fallen Empire series keeps getting better! Starseers, the third installment, moves the adventure to yet another interesting location (probably no shortage of those in deep space) and keeps you hooked with some pretty big questions. Who can Alisa trust? What's the deal with that orb? Why does she keep running into her old Alliance pals in less than desirable circumstances? When will Leonidas reveal his personal mission? And most importantly, where will she finally find her daughter? (I'm getting most anxious for Alisa on this count.) As per usual, the pacing of the book is perfect - no dragging spots - and more depth continues to be added to each character (and none of the main crew feel like background characters). I appreciate the character-driven story, the fun adventure, the witty banter, and the chickens.

Starseers Fallen Empire Book 3 eBook Lindsay Buroker Reviews
I enjoyed the first book (which I got free) enough to buy the second, and was curious enough to then buy the third as well. I doubt I will ever read past #3.
Alisa is supposed to be on a mission to find her daughter, but the girl is mentioned as an afterthought two or three times per "episode," which is what each book feels like. The plot has barely made progress, and Alisa's relationship with Leonidas is the only one that is given any screen time. Conversations with the other characters are pretty much either about whatever immediate danger they're in, where they're going next, or pointing out how Alisa is hot for the cyborg. It'd be nice if the main character had actual friendships but emotional connection and depth are sorely lacking. This is to the point where the word the author uses to describe Alisa's reaction to watching the video of her daughter's kidnapping is "frustration". It's a really cool premise, and I actually mostly like the characters. Unfortunately, it feels like it was written by someone who can't emotionally connect with other people unless sex is on the table. Even her reaction to witnessing death feels insufficient and just doesn't track.
Also, Alisa's banter is not witty or clever. A woman flying a plane for her life isn't going to be flirting with her passenger while she does it. It's hard to be engaged in life and death scenarios in a book where even the characters don't take the situation seriously.
This is some of the best sci fi action I've ever read. Every installment in this series is like a roller coaster ride that just keeps picking up momentum. Our heroine Alisa and her Cyborg side kick , fry cook security guard and reluctant engineer Mica just go from one tight spot to another, from one battle to another even hotter always escaping somehow at the last moment by sheer wit and determination. And of course it helps when you have a Cyborg on your side. But some times we're not real sure exactly whose Side Leonidis the Cyborg is on. But as time goes on he sure seems to be taking a shine to Captain Alisa.
The best part of this series of stories though is not the great characters, plotting or fast moving action and the steady stream at which we learn more about each of the characters involved. It' has all that but the best part is the writing. I simply can't say enough about how well written these books are, Lindsay Buroker's writing is sheer joy and genius. I've always enjoyed female mystery writers but female science fiction? Don't know it just seemed a bit strange but she is about as good as it gets if action adventure sci fi is what you're looking for. You'll never get bored reading these I'll guarantee.
This series is deeply addictive. From Alisa's irreverent humor to the danger the Star Nomad keeps finding itself in, I'm hooked. Also, I'm deliciously anticipating the oft-mentioned massage Alisa keeps teasing Leonidas with. THOSE TWO.
Alisa's faith in the Alliance has taken a beating since we met her in book 1. Things aren't looking up for her in that regard with this book. She's been abandoned, lied to, and ... I don't know, other stuff. She's seeing the cracks in their armor now and what she's finding doesn't seem nearly as honorable as the cyborg who once fought against everything she stood for.
Speaking of Leonidas, we got to see a little more of the person who's lurking under his stony facade. He's slowly starting to share pieces of himself and the more we're told, the more I like him.
I felt for Yumi. I like Mica's commitment to finding the downside to every situation. I'm not loving on Dominguez, but I'm holding out that he'll grow on me. Eventually. Or he'll betray everything Alisa holds dear and she'll do something drastic. EITHER ONE.
I already have book 4 queued up for my reading pleasure. Let's see where it takes us!

I'm still enjoying this series, but there is somewhat of a lack of forward motion with the overarching plot. Alisa once again finds herself having to act against Alliance interests, and questioning whether their intentions and methods are really much more justified than the doctor's. At least we finally find out what info the Alliance wants from Leonidas, though I'd guessed that w/o even having read The Last Command yet, and the trope of interruption just before a personal revelation was used once too often. The Starseers are arrogant and dangerous (though the scene with Yumi's family is a bit amusing), but even the puzzling frame-up of Leonidas (they all hate cyborgs) just isn't enough to take this up to 4 stars.
