Peacekeeper

Former USAF officer Reeve channels her flight experience into this crisp military SF debut. Major Ariane Kedros is a jaded N-space pilot who left the Armed Forces of the Consortium of Autonomous Worlds under the shadow of war crimes committed against the Terran Expansion League. Given a new identity to protect her from TEL retribution, she wanders around uncharted areas of space with her friend Matt Journey, seeking unusual artifacts and taking on occasional intelligence gigs for AFCAW. When several of her former crewmates are killed, Ariane is sent on a new undercover assignment that brings back haunting memories and puts her in considerable danger. Reeve drives the story at a breakneck pace, providing a fine mix of derring-do, honor and courage, and the familial bickering and affection of a close-knit crew. (Dec, 2008).

Peacekeeper is a highly-polished, suspenseful scifi novel, a very promising debut from Laura E. Reeve. Her military experience serving as an Air Force officer for nine years shows in her detail to officer/enlisted relationships, the descriptions of the uniforms and spaceships, and being able to come up with believable military regulations that would apply to treaties the military might have to deal with in the future. I wholeheartedly recommend this entertaining novel, and am eagerly looking forward to reading future novels in the Major Ariane Kedros series.

Overall, this was a fun, easily-devoured novel. Ariane has interesting flaws, and has successes and failures along the way. She can kick ass when she needs to, but is not particularly prone to fighting. The much-feared Minoans are fascinating, and I would be interested in uncovering their mysteries. And the mystery of Ura-Guinn is left unknown, leaving the reader looking forward to the next novel.

-- Fantasy Debut, Tia Nevitt

Plenty of mystery remains surrounding the aliens, Matt's and Ariane's discoveries and the Terran Leagues provacateurs to fuel many future adventures for Major Kedros. Peacekeeper is an excellent first novel and well worth checking out.
