Year 2522. Oh. My. Stars.
Junior Officer Ara Lawrence here, reporting for duty. Again. It's situation critical for the security team and everyone in the base - including my parents - with a new attack from the looters imminent, a possible galaxy-wide crime conspiracy and an unstoppable alien threat. But this all pales in the face of my mind-blowing discovery about the Q-net. Of course, no one believes me. I'm not sure I believe me. It could just be a stress-induced delusion. That's what my parents seem to believe...
Their concern for me is hampering my ability to do my job. I know they love me, but with the Q-net in my corner, I'm the only one who can help the security team beat the shadowy aliens from the pits we discovered. We're holding them at bay, for now, but the entire Milky Way Galaxy is in danger of being overrun.
With battles on too many fronts, it's looking dire. But one thing I've learned is when people I love are in jeopardy, I'll never give up trying to save them. Not until my dying breath. Which could very well be today...
The jaw-dropping finale to New York Times bestselling author Maria V. Snyder's YA space opera.

Defending The Galaxy
Absolutely brilliant series as are all her books. Thanks for an awesome read.
Excellent young adult sci-fi!
This book is the final in a trilogy. The series concerns terracotta warriors similar to those unearthed in China, discovered on planets, scattered throughout the galaxy. The warriors are investigated by teams of scientists supported by technicians and security guards. A young girl Lyra, assists her parents with their research and discovers unusual markings on 8 warriors in each pit, that is excavated. These markings reveal the true purpose the warriors serve. Her discovery sets off a chain of events which lead to attacks by hostile aliens as well as human looters after the specially marked figures.
The series contains great characters as well as a fantastic plot containing action, drama, intrigue, comedy and a dash of romance.
