Find an exploit; hack the universe. Chief Engineer Roz Mendez pilots a ship with a revolutionary star drive that could travel ten times as fast as current technology. The job has given her a chance to find riches, romance, and earn a reputation that will counter the discrimination she’s felt her entire life. All the ship needs to make history is a few repairs and a renowned physicist who can adjust the jump equations. The trick is finding the professor without tipping off the Bankers, the species with a monopoly on faster-than-light communications. Just making a profit at each port without getting arrested is hard enough.

From the Author Seeing the psi talent and blaster action from a new POV was fun. Max may have gathered the group together, but Roz becomes its conscience. She doesn't take prejudice sitting down and sticks up for her new family. She also has a definite technological point of view about the ship, adding dimension to the world hopping adventure. The slower romance over two books was nice, with several opportunities for humor and character development. Her honesty and innocence help balance a crew of rogues and spies. The story opens with her facing the woman she wronged the most and the man who scarred her forever. My favorite scenes are when she finds out secrets about her own family and friends, when things she's taken for granted for years turn out to be wrong. The cover looks just like I imagined her in book one.

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Great follow up to a promising series By dyn2liv This is the follow up to the cliff hanger ending from the series number one, 'Void Contract'. The first book was almost solely devoted to character development and bringing together the team members that start this series. Though this book seems to transition the first person role from Max to Roz as the story progresses. I am not sure if this approach will continue in new offerings or is a one-off. Either way the pace in the book is much quicker than in book one now that the main characters have been introduced and developed.This book as a whole, in my opinion, was better written and has more suspense which lends well to its' faster pace. The story flows much better and offers quite a few twist and turns to the reader. Being that almost everyone is an alien makes the plot transitions and changes much more dramatic and the surprises more fluid. Because, after all, they're aliens and how do we know what they think.To Mr. Rhine, great job and I look forward to further additions to the series and watching your writing style grow and refine.
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Solid Sequel By DED I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.This is the second book in the "Gigaparsec" series and thus this review may contain spoilers for those who haven't read the first book.In "Void Contract", we were introduced to Max, a war weary ex-special forces operative looking to make a life for himself in the civilian world, errr, galaxy. While on a job, he encountered Echo, a Magi (the mysterious race that gave humans the initial push that eventually led to their interstellar leap) who helps him with his PTSD, and discovered a stowaway alien unrecognized for its primitive sentience. Along the way he recruited a wide variety of misfit specialists from various alien races whose goals in life were compatible with his. They all have good hearts, but they're willing to bend the rules and break a few laws to achieve their goals. A bit like Firefly in that regard, but with aliens and without the signature dialogue.The book is mostly a series of "jobs" that the group must undertake to achieve their overarching goal of finding said physicist. While there is no single villain to play the antagonist—unless you count the Bankers, who remain in the background the whole time—there are several minor villains along the way, but they're merely minor hurdles to surmount. The complexity in the story isn't so much in the plot as it is in operating a commercial starship, which is very much a business. The group spends a good deal of time figuring out what goods they need to purchase from one world to sell on another to acquire the starship parts or writs to undertake certain actions they need to get to that physicist.While the first book was told from Max's perspective, this one is told from Roz's perspective. That's her on the cover. She was one of the last people recruited to join the crew in "Void Contract", and there's a bit of chemistry between her and Max. Roz is a pilot and engineer, her technical background means that her role is mostly a non-combative one. Unfortunately, too much happens off camera that Roz (and the reader) is often told about things after they've happened. She's privy to things that matter in the overall plot—the ship's game changing improved FTL drive, secrets of the Magi—which others aren't. But for the most part, these metaplot revelations aren't as captivating as the off-screen action.Characterization remains solid. All of them have depth and distinct personalities, drives, and ambitions. Their interactions with one another strike me as realistic. In particular, I found Roz's narration to be genuine. Her mindset and technical background brings a fresh perspective on the group dynamic. She's an everyday woman, the sort that you know from work or you've been friends with for years, with everyday concerns that you would expect, just set in a distant future."Supergiant" is a solid sequel to "Void Contract". Rhine showcases his talent as an author by switching narrative POV without losing the essence of the overall series storyline. In fact, he broadens its depth by providing a fresh perspective on the interactions of the characters and makes them relatable. While the story is mostly about performing a series of minor jobs to advance the metaplot, it still makes for an entertaining read. It would not be difficult to turn this series into a TV show. Considering the current sci-fi friendly climate, Rhine should consider pitching a screenplay to the networks.

By FORMER Kindle Customer Supergiant solar system and the effects it has on Max, Roz, and assorted friends and relatives as they take on many more adventures. The story moves quickly as they become a mixed assortment of outcasts and pirates who negotiate and battle to improve the lives of many while discovering the secrets of the universe that makes the subbasement drive of the experimental Magi ship work as they try to restore the damaged and salvaged ship by seeking new clues to the systems. Traveling financed by trading and gaining favor through helping those in need brings much political, religious, and police action wherever they go. Test driving a spaceship over galactical dimensions has great risks, especially when the maiden voyage resulted in only one survivor left in stasis for more than a century and treated as a slave within the ship after rescue. Recognizing that things never go quite as planned, weddings, parties, rescues, and confrontations seem to challenge the crew right up to the last second before the test flight that sets out to prove the Enigma.
