Peter Grant has debuted the second book in his ‘Cochran’s Company’ series, An Airless Storm.  The book picks up a few months after the end of the first book, and continues the story of Andrew Cochrane and his crew.

Andrew Cochrane and his mercenaries have warded off a deadly onslaught by asteroid thieves. Now they’re riding high, buying more ships and looking for more contracts.

However, the criminal Brotherhood isn’t about to accept defeat – not after Cochrane’s Company killed their Patriarch. They’re out to rebuild, rearm, and get revenge.

What started as a simple patrol job in a deserted binary star system explodes into a multi-planetary arms race, with survival on the line!

Airless Storm is a treat, especially for fans of space opera.  Grant does a good job of developing his characters and their stories, as well as introducing new folks to add to the mix.

The book is well plotted, and reads fast.  It’s not a thriller, but Grant has a talent for pulling you into a story and holding on for dear life.  I read it over several evenings and was always surprised by how much time had passed while I was wrapped up in the book.

I’m looking forward to see how this story continues in the next book, due out next month, and I hope you enjoy An Airless Storm as much as I have.
