A review by sherwoodreads
Nimbus by Jacey Bedford
I have said before that I love space opera to be big and braided and full of nifty ideas as well as worlds, and faster than light travel, and the roller coaster of emotions in complicated situations, preferably with a big, diverse cast.
With this conclusion to a three-volume story, Jacey Bedford gives us that.
This book continues on from the previous, which ended with the devastating space battle at the end of Crossways. The station, now in orbit above Olyanda, is being rebuilt piecemeal. Garrick, poised between crime lords and wanting to go legit, still dreams of holding off the megacorporations by allying with other worlds. And unfortunately, he's an addict, one who says, "Oh, I can quit anytime." Unfortunately, that kind of thinking is a time bomb.
He depends on Cara and Ben to aid him, butCara is trying to reinvent Sanctuary while dealing with the systematic murder of Free Company telepaths by seeking the source code in the psi-tech implants that they depend on. And Ben is having increasingly insistent nightmares about the weird entity in foldspace, while trying to talk to the dragons.
Then people who were lost half a century ago turn up. Including Kitty, who . . .
Well, let me just say that there is a rousing, absorbing climax that finishes most satisfactorily. I really, really, enjoyed this three-book story!
