Haunter Grey: Discordance

When the agenda is the complete extermination of the enemy … will anyone survive?

Castor Efrata-Landeez is the Commander of what’s left of the Resistance. Gianna is a G-series ex-Unity Lord from the first fleet taken. The peace that both Castor and Gianna want is impossible while the Unity remain on their warships. Castor and Gianna work together to capture … not kill … Unity fleets, and then bring the Unity to Regia. …where they can then learn the realities of their current existence. …but also discover all the lies of their prior.
Some feel, however, that complete extermination is the only solution to the problem of the Unity.
When Castor resorts to a desperate tactic against a modified Unity fleet, command of the Haunter Grey is seized. The only way to get the Grey Fleet back will likely destroy it.
Without the Greys, humanity will be at the mercy of the Unity. …who don’t recognize mercy as a valid concept.

Discordance is the direct and immediate sequel to Outliers, and continues the epic and gripping saga of Castor Efrata-Landeez and the Greys.

Haunter Grey: Discordance (Last Ark Haunter Grey Book 4), by Ross C. Miller, is the exciting follow-up to the compelling Outliers. Now we are once again gladly in the immersive throes of Castor and the Greys--this time it's Castor and possible annihilation, which could potentially leave zero survivors. But Castor and the Resistance don't give up easily. He and Gianna want peace, but is it possible, and at what cost? They decide to try to capture Unity fleets--not to kill them, but to bring them to an understanding. Then the unexpected happens with Haunter Grey. It falls into the wrong hands, and to save it will risk its destruction. But is there another way? Humanity hangs in the balance, and it seems that mercy does too.

As you read this novel, one can't help but compare some of the themes to world events--war, rumors of war, division, potential and real extermination. This space opera keeps getting better and better, which is surprising because many lengthy series tend to get bogged down or lose focus. Not this one. Ross C. Miller is the consummate craftsman when it comes to worldbuilding and character development. Although Outliers may still be one of my favorites, Discordance comes close. It's evident that the space saga is Miller's forte. He just throws himself into the story and the characters and makes you care about them and what happens to them. Fans of the earlier installments will be happy to see Castor and company again, and the plot increases with intensity and intrigue. If you like science fiction with high stakes, well-conceived characters, and emotional story arcs, you will love Haunter Grey: Discordance by Ross C. Miller.
