Captain Mackenzie Calhoun and the crew of the USS Excalibur are back, picking up three months after the stunning events depicted in New Frontier: Blind Man's Bluff. Calhoun's search of Xenex has failed to find any survivors, and now he is bound and determined to track down the race that killed them—the D'myurj and their associates, the Brethren—and exact vengeance upon them. His search will take the Excalibur crew into a pocket universe, where he discovers not only the homeworld of the D'myurj, but another race that shares Calhoun's determination to obliterate his opponents. But is this new race truly an ally… or an even greater threat?

Review of 'The Returned, Part 2' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

It's been a little while since I read new Frontier. I'm surprised the "part" approach hasn't been done before given David's comic book ties, although the first 4 books were of course released in omnibus early on.

There seems to be a vague sense of recycling about the whole thing - many of the characters find themselves in situations which ring familiar. Nonetheless, you very much know what you're getting and what I got I liked.
