Beacon - Part II (Beacon Saga Serial Book 2) Kindle Edition

3.9 3.9 out of 5 stars 28 ratings

Part II of the BEACON SAGA SERIAL.

Everything ends at Beacon. Everything falls. Now Tersias and Mally have a chance to change that--if they can survive.
What should be wondrous news has rocked the fleet, sparking suspicion and acts of desperation. Against a backdrop of escalating tension in the orbital layers, Mally contends with the growing jealousy of a barren people, while Tersias helps Shiplord Nastron assemble a special crew--from some of Beacon's most infamous aliens. But soon, terrible choices will be made in the name of preserving the peace, and a young family will find themselves torn from each other.

A serial installment of twelve thousand words, more than twice the length of Part I. Continue the Saga in Part III (fourteen thousand words), or in The Complete Beacon Saga (and save off buying individual installments).

    Again, too short! My only complaint. We get another glimpse into the main characters and the scene is set for the great adventure. The writing is so smooth it is easy to get lost in the story. Then out of nowhere one line will elicit a chuckle. So pleased the free first part didn't oversell, already bought and read the third part too! Holding off on the fourth until I check when the fifth is due...

    Nothing like a good serial Sci-Fi novel. Mr. Gillespie weaves a fantastic tale with interesting twists that keep the reader wanting more. I can't wait for the next installment.

    BEACON: Part II is a wonderful continuation of Jonathan C. Gillespie’s BEACON series. His writing is beautiful. Unique outer space aliens, a fantastical universe in which humans and aliens must work together to fight extinction, and philosophical insights into life and death underlie this fascinating space opera story.
