Review: Delphi Promised Delivered!
Rating: 5 out of 5

I've been a fan of the Delphi series from the beginning.  Sometimes the toughest thing to face is the story not going the way you think.  That isn't so with this series or book.  The author delivers what is, in my opinion, the best yet.  The continuation of Nova's story through loving and supporting her daughter now that she is grown.Summary:  Cyann, is all grown up and a astrobiologist of some renown.  She's never forgotten that she has a brother somewhere lost and alone, never stopped hoping for his return, Tughan or not, she loves him.  One day they make first contact with a new (old) species and the clock starts ticking.  She has to find her brother and save the Delphian system before a deadly pathogen can be introduced.Impression:  Cyann is a chip off of her mom's block with something extra.  The characters meld beautifully, and live in your mind.  The gamut of emotion is a wild ride through the story and the dialogue real.  There were times I laughed and times I teared up.  The book is well edited and the plot is tight.  My favorite part of the book though?  The science.  Just enough reality seeped in to make it seem plausible and given just enough kick to make it futuristic and new.  It didn't feel stilted or manual-like, just part of what was happening for an exciting read.  I didn't put it down.  I also liked that it could stand alone if you wished, but I do recommend reading the rest first just so you can experience the added emotional investment in the characters and resolutions.Rating:  5 stars, hands down the best one yet.
