Stolen Son

           “Apparently, luck was out to lunch.”

Stolen Son, Book 6, Star Smuggler series by TS Snow.

           More than two decades have passed since the hostilities with the Severans came to an end and peace has returned to Felida. Unfortunately, in the ensuing years, Andi Tall Trees has died as a result of the dangers related to a late-in-life pregnancy and Sinbad she’en Singh remains deep in his grief—and his cups. Then, an opportunity to relive the adventures of his youth becomes too enticing to ignore. As Lynx, his grand-cub, and Mal, his youngest son, are thrilled to say, “We’re off to see the world.” With that Sinbad she’en Singh discovers a new lease on life.

Until Mal is kidnapped by slave traders and once again the threat to the unity of his clan is threatened. The hunt for his stolen son is on but time after time the search is thwarted—at first by Federal Enforcement agents, then by Mal’s determination to survive the horrors of trafficking. After several “luck was out to lunch” moments, more familial lines than just the she’en Singh clan are reunited, mainly due to Sinbad’s newfound recognition of the value of strong family ties.

 Our Review:  Just when we thought this Space Opera/Futuristic Family Saga had reached a satisfying conclusion, author Snow still showed us a few last cards she’d kept hidden up her sleeve. For that, we were enriched by the opportunity to explore new cultures and new worlds while cheering for the multi-layered McAllister--she’en Singh clan.

 On a scale of 1-5, Stolen Son deserves a 5.
