Sylvia’s Back on the Space Case
Sylvia Stryker has landed a job on the new Moon 6. Again, she's in charge of the uniform department, but this time she's legitimately on the ship. Neptune is also on board this cruise, with the destination being Venus. Everyone is determined to make things go smoothly for the passengers. However, the ship has barely set out when Sylvia finds a dead body outside the uniform department's door. Then Neptune comes to her with a surprising plea for help. Can she figure out what is going on?

Yes, this book has a science fiction setting, but it is still mostly a mystery. In fact, the setting is developed just enough for us to feel at home, but the story doesn't stop to explain every little detail to us. Still, there are some fun nod to pop culture science fiction and some of the tech they do have in this book would be very cool. There are a trio of characters we spent a lot of time with, and they are the best developed. The rest of the cast is still strong enough for the parts they play in what happens. The plot is quite a ride, with plenty of keep us engaged and the pages flying. I read the book in just two days, in fact. I do feel like some of the character's actions over the course of the book weren't completely explained at the end, but that is my only complaint. I'm looking forward to getting to book three as soon as my schedule allows to see how some of the threads introduced here play out.

Sylvia Races Through Time to Save the Day
Sylvia Stryker and her mentor, Neptune, are on a shake down cruise for the latest Moon Trek ship when a computer chip malfunctions. The best way to fix it is to talk to the original scientist who created it, so Neptune takes off. However, when Sylvia figured out the who and the when of Neptune’s mission, she takes off after him. Will she be able to fix the chip without destroying her life?

You’ll notice I didn’t say much about the mystery. That’s because, honestly, it was a little lost in everything else going on in this book. But that’s okay because I was having a grand time. The science fiction element of the plot did fall into a couple of the plot holes these type of stories often have (or I just missed something), but I didn’t mind too much. The story gives Sylvia several chances for some major growth, and those scenes are top notch. And there were plenty of laughs and fun along the way. If you are a fan of these books, you owe it to yourself to pick it up today.
