Bosa Sennen was a scourge of merchants and traders alike. A pirate who struck from the darkness, showed no mercy, and vanished without trace...and whose career was ended by the Ness sisters. They took her crew, her ship and ultimately also her life. Unfortunately for them, they have also taken on Bosa's fearsome reputation. Sequel to Revenger. Sequel to this is Bone Silence.

Review of 'Shadow Captain' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

Reynolds makes the interesting choice to switch view points from Arufura Ness to her sister in this sequel to Revenger, the story of space pirates, space tomb raiders and historical mysteries. It's quintessential Reynolds in many ways - grim characters, deep mysteries, slow start. It's also a better sequel than any I can remember from this author - hopefully Reynolds can stick the landing with the obviously necessary third volume and give a satisfying conclusion.
