Sethran Kada makes his first appearance in Chris Reher's feature- and creature-rich world in 'The Catalyst', as well as another appearance in 'Rebel Alliances'. And in both of these instances, he played the badass that he rightfully is, and he certainly doesn't disappoint in Quantum Tangle either.But things are different this time. He's tasked to assist a being that has managed to connect with him in remarkable ways, and during a simple mission of data retrieval in relation to this being, unfortunate events occur that puts Seth firmly on the wrong side of Air Command. What's a badass to do? Fight his way through impossible situations to his goal, of course.In the previous books, we only see Seth through Nova's eyes as an untrustworthy ex who's most likely a dirty rebel because he deals with rebels. And even though I felt that wasn't the case, I am pleased that this book has confirmed things. I would have liked a tad more depth into Seth's characters as to why he does what he does, how he came to be this way, but Chris Reher's motto is "Action, action, ACTION!" and, per usual, the book is brimming with it! Chases, gun fights, and extraordinary and powerful abilities exhibited with the help of the new entity.Seth loses trusted alliances, but also regains it in others he wouldn't have thought possible. And then there's the new being that has manifested as a female. And Seth's feelings towards her is very complicated. It was enjoyable to read his interactions with this new entity and to learn more about the remarkable connection they shared. The ending was definitely a surprise. And while a part of me feels it ended on a satisfying note, another part wonders: what would have happened if things had gone otherwise?Give Quantum Tangle (and all of the other Targon books by Chris Reher) a go. It's definitely entertainment at its finest! :D
