ABOUT MICHAEL J. ALLEN
Michael J. Allen is a bestselling author of multi-layer science fiction and fantasy novels. Born in Oregon and an avid storm fan, he lives in far too hot & humid rural Georgia with his two black Labradors: Myth and Magesty. On those rare occasions he tears himself away from reading, writing and conventions he can be found enjoying bad scifi movies, playing D&D or the occasional video game, getting hit with sticks in the SCA or hanging out with the crew of Starfleet International’s U.S.S. DaVinci.

Stolen Lives (Scion #2 of the serie)
Alaric’s made a new life in the Protectorate despite his missing memories. His ship’s AI, Cassii, and a successful trading venture help fill his accounts with enough credits to finish repairing his ship for a rescue mission to Earth. Or would have, had his heroics not smashed Cassiopeia once more.
His interference with the Corollas crime syndicate fills his thruster wash with more than just an angry ex-mentor. Pirates thrive on the star lanes, preying on all those who stray within their sights. Cassii’s been stolen and with her Alaric’s hopes to rescue his friends. Pirates, bounty hunters, and disgruntled plants besiege him along all vectors, preventing his capture of the scum responsible.
Alaric recruits a reluctant doctor, a pacifistic AI, and several escort pilots to help him chase down Cassii. Kindhearted decisions leave Alaric wallowing in misery. Deaths and desperation, financial losses and constant attack force him to make dark choices that threaten all.
Alaric embraces the vast interstellar emptiness, struggling to harden himself enough to thwart the Protectorate’s criminal elite. Every sacrifice he makes to rescue Cassii seems to cost chunks of his soul. Will he free her before he loses himself or will she return to find her beloved captain a worse villain than her kidnapper?
REVIEW : i will give it a 4/5 stars
I enjoyed his first book as i said it in myh firt book review , and so i started the second one, which I definitely enjoyed, too. I was engaged from the start, drawn in to the story by the wriitng style and word choice. The story was just as fast paced and ongoing action packed as the first. As with the first book The characters I loved from the first book were all present (for the most part), and new ones introduced but there was still no real developpement in their stories and personalities, people you could relate to. I am really enjoying this story, despite being more interested in his fantasy works, and look forward to reading more in the future. i would have prefered if the main character got any more mature but no he didn't change a bit, but maybe the autor wants him to be like that.
I definitely enjoyed this work, too. the mistakes were's as much as in the first one.
it's defenetly worth the shot especially if you love reading sci-fi books. you can get a copy from amazon, it's on promotion https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L9A72UK
