![[Reher, Chris]のMetamorph: The Outbounder Chronicles (English Edition)](https://images-fe.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/518tLxqHi3L._SY346_.jpg)
I read my first Chris Rhere book because it was free, I read all the rest because they are fun and it is a pleasure to watch an author go from good to excellent. Metamorph as with all her books is a stand alone story with a satisfying ending that makes you want more without leaving you hanging. This is an entirely new universe from her excellent 'Targon Tales' series featuring unique, truly alien aliens. The plot is engrossing with lots of action and many twists. The characters are well developed and believable, their true natures are revealed throughout the story. They are easy to commiserate with or despise as the case may be. The scenes are very well described and vivid, it is easy to imagine myself there. I love the science, she makes believable and interesting extrapolations and explanations without letting it get in the way of the plot.
Chris has developed into an excellent writer and I can't wait to read what happens next. All in all a real page turner!
内容紹介
A new adventure by the author of The Targon Tales.
The deep space prospectors take the risks. The mighty Pendra Consortium reaps the profits. That's the way it is on the Hub, a crossroads to distant planets and limitless opportunity for mankind.
Pendra agent Laryn Ash is assigned to keep an eye on the crew, and especially the captain, of the prospector ship Nefer - not exactly the sort of career move she had in mind when she escaped the hardships of Earth's Restoration for a job on the Hub.
When two alien visitors hire the Nefer to find a long-lost migrant vessel, the crew discovers a distant world far more enigmatic and dangerous than the patrons who brought them there.
Their exploration uncovers secrets buried deep in Pendra's history that now threaten to destroy the humans who have made new homes on distant planets. As motives, stakes and alliances become clearer, Agent Ash starts to wonder on whose side she is fighting.
