The colony ship Intrepid is falling into a star.

The ship’s AI has lost control of the engines and core systems. Battling a saboteur who strives to isolate him, his last act is to wake Colonel Tanis Richards from stasis.

Tanis finds herself alone on a dying ship, unable to contact the AI. She must discover what has happened and save the Intrepid from burning up in the star’s angry red light.

Even if she is successful, the journey to the colony world of New Eden is just beginning. With decades of travel ahead, she will have to find a path in the darkness.

================================
I read the first book in this series and nearly had a heart attack when it was a cliffhanger. Then, I received this one and I devoured it in one night. Thank goodness it was a quiet night so I could start earlier! I haven't had near enough sleep lately and this one would have kept me up all night. This book is filled with mystery, action, adventure and yes, even a little bit of romance. Of course, it's another cliffhanger, but the series is so good (and so outside of my normal genre) that I can forgive it! Fingers crossed that the next part finds my desk soon!

Someone is out to stop the "GSS Intrepid," an interstellar colony ship, from being completed on schedule and beginning its journey to 82 Eridani. When anti-colonial activist groups are suspected, Major Tanis Richards, an officer in the field of military intelligence and counterinsurgency, is brought onboard to hunt them down.

A public disgrace Tanis suffered at the hands of the military has motivated her to leave Sol and start a new life elsewhere. She soon discerns that more than simple activist groups are arrayed against the ship and its crew. There are corporations and governments that have a vested interest in ensuring that the "Intrepid" never leaves the Sol system.

Tanis tightens security and fights political red tape while running up against assassins and mercenaries sent to the stop her and the "Intrepid" at every turn. The new friends and relationships she forges strengthen her resolve to protect the ship and keep its crew and colonists safe as they endeavor to head outsystem.

Have you ever had a book just sneak up on you? That was Outsystem for me. When I first started reading it, I was a bit like oh, this is okay... Then, I realized that I kept coming back to it and when I hit the end of the book, I groaned out loud that it was a cliffhanger. Just when I thought it was wrapping up nicely, too. I found the futuristic and body modification pieces to be fascinating. I honestly rarely think about where we're going. I'm so busy trying to make sure that day to day life is running as smoothly as possible. This book caused me to pause and realize just how far we've come and how far we could go. The characters were relatable and the book moved along at a pace that kept my attention from wandering but not so fast that I was left confused as to what was happening. All in all, if you're looking for a futuristic sci-fi type book, this is one that I can recommend.
