The world building was simple yet effective and happened as it happened. I’m firmly in the camp of ‘I hope there’s more’. I’m uncertain as to whether there will be more as this fits into that niche of ‘sits really well as a stand alone, but has the potential for a book or two more without feeling like there’d be a dead horse for the flogging’. I loved everything about Ten Low and want more from it. Ten Low was a fast-paced, fun, punchy bit of science fiction filled with intriguing characters, an interesting world and a dab of the unknown that served as the cherry on top of a damn tasty book. Now I know, I’m more than tempted to try more of her work. I’ve never tried a book by Stark Holborn before, so wasn’t entirely sure what I was in for. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Something that threatens to reveal Ten’s worst nightmare: the truth of who she really is and what she is running from. But something else waits in the darkness at the universe’s edge. Their road won’t be easy: they must cross the moon’s lawless wastes, facing military hit squads, bandits and the one-eyed leader of an all-female road gang, in a frantic race to get the General to safety. The pair bury their hatreds and strike an uneasy deal to smuggle the General off-world. Worse, Ten realises the crash was an assassination attempt, and that someone wants the Ortiz dead… The result of a military genetics programme, she is a decorated Army General, from the opposing side of the war to Ten. One night, attempting to atone for her sins, she pulls a teenage girl – the sole survivor – from the wreck of a spaceship. She’s desperate to escape her memories of the interstellar war, and the crimes she committed, but trouble seems to follow wherever she goes. Ten Low is an ex-army medic, one of many convicts eking out a living at the universe’s edge.
