Review: Another Science Fiction Adventure Hit for Caffrey
Rating: 5 out of 5

I have loved every one of Cary Caffrey's tales with Sigrid and Suko, including his latest installment in The Girls from Alcyone series, The Machines of Bellatrix.This isn't just ray guns and fashionably clad mercenary women. Machines has gravitas and themes about humanity woven artfully throughout the story. You'll think about this book and Caffrey's incredible world long after you read the ending...especially after you read the ending.That's because Caffrey brilliantly adds an unfaltering light of hope and love to a dark and brutal world. The best example is when he parallels the peace and beauty of an alien beach hideout with concrete oceans of violent, urban wastelands. But immersive settings only come alive when they mean something to the characters, and Bellatrix holds the ultimate meaning for Sigrid and Suko--transformation. What happens there will forever change their lives.Wonderful read! Highly recommended.
