The Vesta Conspiracy: A Space Opera Thriller (Sol System Renegades Book 2) Kindle Edition

Something wicked is lurking in the asteroid belt.

Bruised by her clash with the evil PLAN, Space Corps agent Elfrida Goto is suffering through a punishment posting to Vesta, deep in the asteroid belt, when she stumbles on a sordid plot to defraud her agency of billions.

This conspiracy conceals a horrifying secret.

Elfrida sets out to investigate the plot with the help of a data analyst and the penniless captain of a recycling ship. They discover an unimaginable horror: the PLAN has infiltrated Vesta itself. Millions of miles from Earth, Elfrida and her friends are trapped on a barren rock with humanity's worst enemy.

The PLAN's merciless war on humanity has entered a new phase.

Elfrida's only hope is to join forces with smuggler Kiyoshi Yonezawa, who fell into a life of crime after his home asteroid, 11073 Galapagos, was destroyed in a PLAN attack. If Kiyoshi is caught, he'll lose the only thing he has left: his spaceship. But if he doesn't help Elfrida to defeat the enemy on Vesta, humanity could lose everything.

The PLAN will not be complete until the last human dies.

If you love The Expanse and the sci-fi novels of Iain M. Banks and Charles Stross, you'll love the Sol System Renegades series, a seven-book space opera epic packed with excitement, heartbreak, and unforgettable characters. Set in a colonized solar system under threat, this sprawling saga moves from the inner planets to the asteroid belt and beyond, as humanity prepares to confront our ultimate enemy on Mars. From a New York Times bestselling author.

Savage's mailing list to receive a FREE library of subscriber exclusive stories, set in four of his fictional universes: Earth's Last Gambit, Extinction Protocol, Sol System Renegades, and the Interstellar Railroad. These stories are not available anywhere else! http://felixrsavage.com/library

Felix was born too late to be a knight in armor, and too early to be a space colonist. He makes up for it by writing action-packed science fiction epics that have sold over 130,000 copies worldwide and become USA Today bestsellers. Restlessly driven to explore, he was born in the Deep South, grew up in the UK, and now lives in Japan with his wonderful wife, two beautiful daughters, and their feline overlords. His books cover the spectrum of science fiction, from hard SF, through space opera, to comedic science fiction, but all deliver his trademark blend of rich characterization, gripping plots, and unexpected twists. Until the day when we can vacation on Mars, this is as good as it gets!

The Vesta Conspiracy takes up where its predecessor left off with Space Corps field agent Elfrida Goto stuck in limbo on the well-settled asteroid Vesta where corporate, political and academic interests again collide. But this time, the stakes are even higher.

Elfrida is the type of heroine who doesn’t let little things like diplomatic niceties stand in the way of what needs to be done. But the author doesn’t ignore the fact that those kinds of heroics can come at a terrible, personal cost.

Like the first book in the series, The Galapagos Incident, the novel explores real-world scientific themes as the plot action races from page to page. Sure there’s a lot of interesting new tech but you will find that it’s well-grounded in actual science.

And, there’s a dark undertone to the novel as the author reminds us that there are some technologies that should, perhaps, be left undeveloped, lest we lose what it means to be human.

I enjoyed this book. I like science fiction and the scenarios and world building taking place are believable. Outside of the main characters, there is not a whole lot of development, but I think that is OK for this kind of a story. I feel that the futuristic concepts of possible solar systems colonization are what make this book enjoyable.

It is a long look at prejudice and fears - sometimes real and others perceived. Hard to stay with, but overall worth the effort.

A good read, with a complex story line and interesting characters. I also like the juxtaposition of making anything to do with religion politically incorrect, & yet presenting some important 2ndary characters as having a strong faith. Didn't beat you over the head, managed to paint the picture with a few references.
Has all the best of a space opera, political intrigue, with a touch of zombie/pod people, while making it all sound believable.Occasionally long on explanations..

But there were a few surprises. It seemed like a long time coming but when the action started it was worth the wait. Looking forward to reading about Elfrida's experience on Mercury.

3.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed this tale despite it not being in one of my preferred genres.
Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2015
When I read the Blurb of this book I was quite sure that the writer had an interesting imagination. So despite The Vesta Conspiracy not being the type of book I would normally read, and despite the fact that this appeared to be the second story in the book’s series, I pressed ahead. I’m glad to say that I enjoyed it.

I found this peek into the not so distant future to be clever, a little unsettling, and quite believable.
It took me a little while to get around the writers’ language, but once further into the story it actually added to my enjoyment, and it was nice to be reading a story where the writer didn’t insult the audience by explaining every little detail (but definitely being descriptive enough). This actually made me feel a sense of achievement as I turned the pages, got to grips with the jargon, and progressed through the universe in which the story was set.

Together with demonstrating the writers’ imagination, and originality, the diverse nature of his fictional characters was another positive factor for me. I didn’t feel alienated (no pun intended) at any point during the story, and this is something that is important to me as a reader, especially when exploring foreign genres.

If I could give three-and-a-half stars I would, three is probably about right for me. Considering the fact that I’ve never been interested in reading stories that aren’t set on the planet Earth, and still had my interest piqued, I think readers more familiar with the genre will enjoy it even more than I did.

I was provided with a free copy by the author to give an impartial review.
