Cadet Elizabeth Norman finally gets her wish to train as an officer – until her dreams of active service are crushed… After all Lizzy’s been through, the General absolutely refuses to allow her to serve on the front line. Worse… the only alternative offered to her is a desk in Procurement - as far from the action as it's possible to get. Spying on her boss. Just when she’s cursing her bad luck and hating every dreary day – people around Lizzy start dying. And as the body count rises, she realises that doing nothing isn't an option... 'It is a great piece of Sci Fi, full of action and unexpected twists.' mj - 5 stars For fans of Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan series and Elizabeth Moon

Born the same year as the Russians launched Sputnik, Sarah confidently expected that by the time she reached adulthood, the human race would have a pioneer colony on the Moon and be heading off towards Mars. So she was at a loss to know what to do once she realised the Final Frontier wasn’t an option and rather lost her head - she tried a lot of jobs she didn’t like and married a totally unsuitable man.

Now she’s finally come to terms with the fact that she’ll never leave Earth, she has a lovely time writing science fiction and fantasy novels and teaching Creative Writing. She lives in Littlehampton on the English south coast with a wonderful husband and a ridiculous number of books. She can be found online chatting about books at her book review blog https://sjhigbee.wordpress.com/ and you’re very welcome to pop by her website www.sjhigbee.com and her Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/sjhigbeeauthor/.

Like your space opera with complex plots.Your heroine with clay feet
who just wanted to please Daddy until she learns he is the biggest monster in her world.This second book of three was every bit as enjoyable as the first but may challenge the casual reader due to the complexity of characters, plots and worldview.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent plot twists or engrossing
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020
The story just got better and better with each passing page. The character development and world building really pulled me in; but it was the magnificent plot twists that you don’t see coming that showed the strength of the Author. I just downloaded the next book and intend to dig into it today. You’ll be thankful you continue reading this series if you like the first book. Norman goes off the rails.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great follow up in an exciting science fiction series.
Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017
So much happened in the first book, and I can’t talk about it now without spoiling this one for you. So I’m going to keep it simple.

A lot has changed for Elizabeth. Now a cadet officer serving at her father’s mercenary space headquarters, she’s torn about what to think. The other cadet’s either support her or despise her, and training is sometimes unnecessarily brutal. Everyone seems to have an agenda, including her father, and she can’t help but feel like a pawn to be used. Dangerous games are afoot.

This story moves at a fast clip. At times, bitter sweet, it’s also packed with action, conspiracy and danger that keeps the suspense building.

I really enjoyed the first book in this series, Running Out Of Space, and Dying For Space was just as fun. Lots of surprises and I can’t wait for more when the third book, Breathing Space, comes out. I’m a fan of the Sunblinded series and happy to recommend it.

I received a complimentary copy. My review is voluntarily given.

5.0 out of 5 stars Even better than book one. Can't wait to read book three.

I read Book One of the Sunblinded trilogy a couple of years ago and have no idea why it took so long to read Book Two, since the first book was awesome. And this one was even better.

In this sci-fi page-turner, the first-person protagonist Elizabeth returns. She’s enrolled in an officer training program on a mercenary space station responsible for protecting Sector Two, and she’s looking forward to active service. But her father, General Norman, has other plans. He’s a hot head, a bully, and says he wants her safe. She surrenders to his pressure and takes a job in Procurement, but she’s smart and observant, and there’s a lot more going on than meets the eye. Then the bodies start piling up.

The world building is great from the functioning of the space station to the unique space-jargon used by the characters. The plot gave me whiplash, it moves so fast, and I read the book in two days, sneaking around to get another chapter in and staying up late. There’s a lot of tension, quite a few twists, and Elizabeth is as easy to anger as the General. When the two of them are together, the sparks fly, and things get downright dangerous.

But the best part of the read is the characters. Besides being one tough cookie, Elizabeth is emotional, compassionate, fervent, and at times out-of-control reckless. And she has a dead friend in her head challenging her every decision or adding snarky commentary. That may sound weird, but I tell you, it works. Secondary characters are equally compelling, and at times its hard to know the good guys from the bad. Everyone seems slightly compromised, and there are some surprises.

I recommend starting with Book One, as this is one chronological story. Highly recommended for sci-fi fans and readers who enjoy a fiery female protagonist who can hold her own. I sure to dive into Book Three soon.
