The Genome Rally

by Arlene F. Marks

Overview

The most dangerous race in the galaxy is the race against time.

And the second most dangerous race? The Galactic Great Council believes it's the Humans. However, as the captain and officers of the Earth ship Marco Polo are about to find out, Humanity has plenty of competition for that title.

While visiting Kula'as, Captain Takamura and his crew are recruited by aliens for a covert mission. The Thryggians may be close to breaking out of their pocket universe using a psi-powered heavy ship left over from an ancient war. If they succeed in activating the ship, they'll be unstoppable. Can a bickering bunch of Humans and aliens work together to find and steal the vessel before it is too late?

Editorial Reviews

Picking up where the third book in the series left off, The Genome Rally introduces more mystery, more secrets and more hidden agendas. Every major character has a mask they present to the world and a true identity that remains hidden. It is a duplicitous universe of constant fencing, where motives remain hidden, and where no one and nothing can be taken at face value. ... Readers who enjoy The Expanse will like the Sic Transit Terra series.

I started to read it on a flight to Cuba and after registering at my resort, had to force myself to put it down at one thirty in the morning.
