Overload Flux: Central Galactic Concordance Book 1

By Carol Van Natta

Two loners fighting to stay alive discover they must now save the galaxy. The only vaccine for a deadly galaxy-wide pandemic is missing ... and the only ones who may be able to find it are a powerful talent on the verge of a meltdown, and a security specialist hiding her extraordinary skills in a menial job. Brilliant investigator Luka Foxe must act fast if he's going to save the civilized planets of the Central Galactic Concordance. For as a pandemic sweeps across the galaxy, someone is stealing the vaccine. To make matters worse, Luka's hidden mental talents are out of control, leaving him barely able to function in the midst of violence and a rising body count. The convoluted trail leads to a corrupt pharma industry and the possibility of an illegal, planet-sized laboratory. In the face of increasing threats, he must rely on an enigmatic, lethal woman who has secrets of her own. Mairwen Morganthur hides extraordinary skills under the guise of a dull night-shift guard. The last thing she wants is to provide personal security for a nova-hot investigator, or to be plunged into a murky case involving sabotage, treachery, and the military covert operations division that would love to discover she's still alive. Worse, she knows that two more deaths won't bother their enemies one bit. Their only hope for survival is to share their darkest secrets. With everything in their universe at stake, can they learn to trust one another? * - * - * - * - * - * - *"Overload Flux is a brilliant, suspenseful tale that will keep readers captivated from beginning to end."

*A copy of this book was given to me by the author in exchange for an honest review.*

Overload Flux is a slow-building, action-packed novel that leaves the reader wanting more. I was very impressed with the author's wieldy confidence of the world she had created. While there were terms I was not familiar with, and even wondered if they were invented just for the novel, they worked in the setting and further immersed me into the Central Galactic Concordance universe. The relationship between the two main characters was believable and grew in a natural manner. Furthermore, each character in the novel was unique, serving a purpose and building on the storyline. I will definitely be watching for more from this author!
