A Reluctant Sovereign (Family Law Book 7) Kindle Edition

by Mackey Chandler (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
#1 New Release in Colonization Science Fiction
See all formats and editions
When North America attacked the space habitats beyond the Moon they had no plan B if they failed. The Earth Claims Commission was already suffering a credibility crisis and North America's disastrous failure and defeat left them with no muscle. Far flung worlds and stations were abandoned with no banking, no supply, and no news. The explorers who were owed royalties were cut off too. Lee and her father Gordon weren't about to sit still for that. If you can repossess a ground car, why not a planet? Lee had standing to be sovereign of Providence but wasn't all that fond of planets. She didn't want to be bogged down with the day to day drudgery of sovereignty like her friend Heather on the Moon. Was there any reason she couldn't have her cake and eat it too? None that she could see.

Mackey (Mac') Chandler retired to Rochester, Michigan from a working life that spanned a large number of occupations. Mold maker, aerospace machinist, plumber, mechanic and dozen more as well as owning several businesses. In 2022 the Chandler family relocated to Winston Salem, NC to be near relatives and no longer deal with Michigan winters.

A life long time reader of Science Fiction, the authors at Baen's Bar and their evening chat room motivated him to try his own hand at writing. His first effort was a short story titled "Common Ground" which sold to the short-lived Jim Baen's Universe.

"Paper or Plastic" was his first Kindle book. Two series have been added starting with "April" and the second series starting with "Family Law". The series have merged and continue to grow together. Limited print and audio books are available.

Other stand alone books and shorts bring current publications to twenty-nine.

His personal favorite book is "The Mote in God's Eye" by Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle. Other favorite authors include Lee & Miller, and C.J.Cherryh.

All Mac's books are DRM free. I respect my readers and don't assume they are thieves.

I went back to the previous book and read the last chapter. Then began reading this book. I finished the book in a day and thoroughly enjoyed it. You have kept the storyline moving forward. The characters are consistent from book to book. Addition of new characters is still taking place and they are relevant. Your writing is much appreciated. At least by me. So, thank you.

So, Mackey, you've done it again. Darn it. I'm really hooked. You tell some whopping good stories!
I've been waiting for this book release for a while now, and I wasn't disappointed. Again, you left me at a cliffhanger. I'll be waiting, I'm betting on you producing more great stories

The author must have a massive database of the characters, locations and diverse interests to keep track of Lee, Eddie, Jan and the lawyers. Each group of characters continues on their individual paths without loss of continuity. Excellent book continuing the quality of the series. Not to appear ungrateful but how soon is the next one due?

As always a fun and exciting read in this latest addition to the Family Law series, the only downside of it is how quickly you go through the new book.
