My Review:

Dark Matter is an excellent addition to Jaxon Reed’s Phaethon Corp. series. It is an exceptionally captivating, fast-paced space opera that provides outstanding narrative continuity for devoted fans of the series.

The plot revolves around a highly coveted, strange material composed of unique dark molecules found deep out beyond the frontier. Everyone in the galaxy knows what these dark molecules are capable of doing and wants them for themselves. To obtain this dark matter, every governmental system and major faction in the galaxy goes after Aramis Station to hunt down and secure the material.

Protagonist Bo Duckworth finds himself right in the middle of the fight, trying to protect his home and the people who reside there. When the fighting begins, this is where all the excitement came in for me—I couldn’t turn the pages as quickly as I wanted!

My favorite parts always lie with the battles and how the bots come into play. I was kept on the edge of my seat, picturing everything I was reading in my mind as if I were a part of the action myself. If you love fast action, great space battles, and excellent series continuity, do not miss this one!
