A review by rjtheodore
Annihilation Aria: Book One of the Space Operas by Michael R. Underwood
5.0
Overlay the adventure and romance of 1999's The Mummy onto the space shenanigans and color palette of Guardians of the Galaxy or Thor Ragnarok.
I cannot tell you how delightful it is to have a couple in Max and Lahra who show immense respect and love for each other despite their cultural and goal-oriented differences. The plot's drama is external to their marriage, allowing their love to give them strength rather than hold them back, and watching them lift each other up to power through the end of the book was immensely satisfying.
The publisher provided me with an Advance Review Copy of this novel but my review is my own.
