There were no review copies this week, but I had to of course get a book for National Buy a Book day. How could I not after last year when I bought my favorite book of the year on that day (Elfland by Freda Warrington)?

Aftermath by Ann AguirreAftermath by Ann Aguirre

This is the fifth book in the Sirantha Jax series, and I really enjoy these books so I had to get the latest one since it just came out! These are space operas with a bit of romance (more in some books than others) and they are a lot of fun to read with a lot of action and lovable characters. The last one broke my heart (and creeped me out at times – there were parts that made me really wish I hadn’t read it during a week when my husband was out of the country and I was all alone). I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next!

The previous books in the series are as follows: Grimspace, Wanderlust, Doubleblind, and Killbox. They are available in mass market paperback and ebook format.

DEAD HEROES GET MONUMENTS. LIVE ONES GET TRIALS.

Sirantha Jax has the right genes—ones that enable her to “jump” faster-than-light ships through grimspace. But it’s also in her genetic makeup to go it alone. It’s a character trait that has gotten her into—and out of—hot water time and time again, but now she’s caused one of the most horrific events in military history…

During the war against murderous, flesh-eating aliens, Sirantha went AWOL and shifted grimspace beacons to keep the enemy from invading humanity’s homeworld. The cost of her actions: the destruction of modern interstellar travel—and the lives of six hundred Conglomerate soldiers.

Accused of dereliction of duty, desertion, mass murder, and high treason, Sirantha is on trial for her life. And only time will tell if she’s one of the Conglomerate’s greatest heroes—or most infamous criminals…
