The Year is 5028 (Old Terran Time ). The Milky Way Galaxy is teeming with life and sentient species. Earth is now known as Terra and part of the United Stars of the Galaxies, a multicultural mega civilization that by now stretches across two-quarters of the Milky Way Galaxy and has a foothold in the Andromeda Galaxy. There are over 5030 distinctive member civilizations calling themselves members of the Union. The United Stars Space fleet protects this mega civilization against external threats.

Erica Olafson, born as Eric on a cold world called Nilfeheim raised under harsh conditions of a very traditional inward-looking society of Neo-Vikings left her planet to fulfill his dream to become a Star ship captain.

Erica stands 199 cm tall and weighs almost exactly 90 kilos and some say she moves with the same purpose and grace as a Nubhir Wolf.

Like everyone from Nilfeheim she has a greater tolerance to freezing temperatures and is able to stay submerged underwater for a very long time because of gills and eyes that are adapted to see well underwater thanks to a second set of clear eyelids. His muscles are denser than that of a standard human, allowing her to swim longer and deeper. Due to those abilities, she has great endurance and is much stronger than she looks.

She loves fish, has a very clear sense of honor and hates unfair situations. Even though she doesn’t like to admit it, she carries the same short temper of her father and is more often than not ready to face a challenge with fists or weapons.

She is now fully aware of a Dark God growing within her.

Together with her truly unusual crew, she is leaving Thauran space behind, advancing deep into unknown space to solve an ancient mystery...

The end of a truly great series.

Reviewed it on June 10, 2026

A very suitable ending to an excellent series of books, and well worth persevering through the spelling and formatting issues.

It's a real pity that Vanessa wasn't able to get the series fully edited and fixed up, and an even greater disappointment that she died before she could finish all the other books in her Galactic Chronicles universe.
