Colony One is prepared for anything â?? except the saboteur who's already on board.

For Jonah Wyatt, the Space Force is his last shot at a military career. After years leading an elite task force, he was discharged from the army and stuck working one menial job after another. Now this disgraced combat specialist is headed to space. He's tasked with training his own unit aboard Elderon: colony one. Nobody bothered to tell him it would be a squad of white-hat hackers and intel eggheads who are definitely not Space Force material.

One recruit is Maggie Jones â?? an undercover reporter who was brought on board as a member of the press corps. Her job is to create fluffy corporate propaganda that paints the colony as a futuristic utopia, but Maggie can't follow the rules once she gets wind of a story.

When Maggie gets a tip from an unknown source, she realizes Elderon is not at all what it seems. As she gets closer to unraveling the conspiracy, Sergeant Wyatt begins to suspect that there's a spy on board. The saboteur has been with them all along, and he's been building an army of his own.


The Elderon Chronicles is now a complete series!

I've never read any other books by Tarah Benner but saw this one and it piqued my interest - having now finished it I must say I will certainly be looking at some of her others as this was fantastic.

Maggie is a disgruntled journalist stuck writing fluff pieces and finally cracks and blasts her employer via her column after her serious story is bumped and she's informed AI will be taking other from some journalists at the paper. As a result she comes to the attention of one of the men behind a company opening the first manned space colony and is offered a job reporting there.

Jonah is a troubled ex-soldier struggling to fit into regular civilian life, an old colleague returns to his life and offers him a job working to train soldiers for the 'Space Force' on the new space colony.

Upon arrival at the space colony things aren't quite what they seem, there are far too many soldiers for a civilian colony and an abnormally high amount of expenditure. Maggie decides to look into things still searching for a real story instead of writing fluff and gets help from some inside sources to enter the Space Force disguised as a recruit.

I found it extremely hard to put down, the pages flew by and after managing to peel myself away once in the afternoon I was back into it in the evening and finished it in two sittings. The writing style was good, things flowed well and the changing perspective from which the story was told was clear cut and well executed.

Would recommend! ( )
