On My Nightstand - The Superlative Stream by Kerry Nietz & Giveaway

Author Kerry Nietz launched his much-anticipated second book in the Dark Trench series, "The Superlative Stream." To fully appreciate this volume, it would be helpful, but not imperative, that you read, "A Star Curiously Singing."

Sandfly, a fixer of all things robotic, and his female companion, Hard Candy, embark on a search for The Superlative Stream. They look for a new way of life, one promising freedom from the severe mind control of earth's regime.

The previous Dark Trench crew encountered strange things in the Betelgeuse system, but nothing compared to what Sandfly and Hardy Candy discover. Are the planet and civilization the source of the Superlative Stream? Or is it another cosmic dead end?

Kerry brings the main characters through a thought process that's both natural and believable. Their relationship, previously foreign and forbidden, provides an interesting story element.
