"Dark World," the second book in the fascinating "Echo's Way" series, is a compelling tale about revolt, survival, and the never-ending pursuit of freedom. This action-packed science fiction story, set in the far future on a faraway colony world, centers on Echo, a young woman who becomes embroiled in a struggle against a strong and tyrannical regime

When Echo's partner, Ben, goes missing and is presumed dead, she is left adrift with no purpose. Determined to join the war effort, Echo embarks on a journey to the military academy, only to have her plans derailed when her ship is attacked. Her escape leads her to a lost world, where she discovers a band of rebels fighting against the oppressive regime that has enslaved the population.

In a society where submission is enforced and weapons are scarce, Echo becomes a beacon of hope for the rebels. With unwavering determination, she seeks a way to liberate the people and restore the lost colony to the Federation. Along the way, Echo also seeks answers about the fate of Ben, driving her forward in her quest.

While "Dark World" is part of a series, it can be enjoyed as a standalone novel. Bursting with pulse-pounding action and a touch of romance, this captivating story will transport you to a distant world where the fight for freedom is paramount. Immerse yourself in this thrilling science fiction adventure today.

Review

This is thesecond of the Echo's Way books that I have had the pleasure to read and review.Dark World takes up where the previous book ended and continues theentertaining and engaging saga of Echo and Ben. Along with the usualprotagonists, the author introduces new and interesting characters with theirown perils. This series has plotting that is strong but simple enough for oldspace opera fans like myself to really enjoy. Like his previous book, I trulyappreciated Dark World by Mike Waller, a good story without excessive violence,language and sex. The author has succeeded in doing that very well. Well done!

I read this book fearing I would need to have read the first book. But though it is book 2 of a series the author provided enough background to make it a good standalone adventure on its own. A young woman who was the only survivor on her colony planet finds herself hijacked, along with the rest of the crew and passengers of a transport, by pirates who basically keep their lost colony in servitude. I say lost colony as in this story starships can only travel certain points, and those points can come and go. So it was for over a hundred years with this lost colony. Echo, and her fiance whose ship was taken by the pirates a year earlier, help the local resistance to overcome the pirates along with the crews of the pirated ships. The book has a nice cast of characters and reads well. The only problem with this book is it reminded me strongly of another book in some ways though I absolutely don't think either author copied the other.
I look forward to reading the next installment.

An enjoyable read ! While it’s part of a series, it can quite easily be read as a stand-alone without missing any major information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stranded
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2023
Stranded on a lost colony subjugated under a strict regime, our heroine struggles to rally the people to fight back. Because she knows that is the only way she will get off the planet and back to her real mission, finding her lost partner.

This is book two of the series, but it is written as a standalone. No prior reading required to enjoy this book.

This is a military SF book. The story is well written and generally fast paced with all the twists and turns you would expect from a battle plan. The characters are well developed generally distinct, although you can spot a few stereotypes here and there. But then that is not always a bad thing. I particularly like our heroine who is one tough cookie, particularly in a tight spot. Overall, I really enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more by this author.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars No cliffhangers, this story rocks!
Reviewed in the United States on May 19, 2020
Although I was unable to read the first in the series, I was still able to read this book as a stand-alone story. The beginning gives a short synopsis of the previous book, enough to grasp the main characters. The writing is smooth and well expressed with little to interfere with reading enjoyment. I also enjoyed the scrappy female lead and her innovative ideas of how to stay ahead of the pirates. I also enjoyed the details of the spacecraft. I bought this book expecting a good space story and I got it!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Space Opera with a great femail protagonist
Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2020
Dark World is the second in a three part series featuring Echo, the female protagonist. This is book two in the series and can be read as a standalone novel. The two main characters are briefly summarized from book one in the first chapter. What I liked ab out Dark world; there was no excessive violence (it was simply implied), couple of nice twists along the way to keep the reader engaged, a fast paced story line and a very likeable protagonist.

I received an ARC of this b ut was not forced to provide a review.

The second in this trilogy seamlessly continues the story, with even more twists including pirates an evil family holding a planet in slavery and lots of battles to keep you turning pages, well worth reading, I would recommend reading book one first, Baz.
