My Review:


Alekzander Brede, half-human half- Amphidian travels the universe flying from planet to planet finding relics for others. Alekzander is a citizen on both planet Earth and Amphidian.  Alekzander is far stronger than any human.

Narita Sabbad hires Alekzander to find a relic for her. Narita is not the only one looking for the relic and is willing to kill to get their hands on it. Narita has also set her eyes on Alekzander and will stoop to any level to get her hands on him and make him hers forever or at least until she gets bored with him. Narita like Alekzander has a very cold, dark heart and never show any feelings or emotions ever.

Elecktra has lived on New Cairo all her life as far as she knows that is. She was abandon in Garbage City when she was very small and learned to steal food just so she could eat. The people of Garbage City knew what she did but none were willing to take her in as their own so they let her take what she needed to survive. One day Elecktra was cast out of Garbage City and told never to return so she took up residence in The City of the Dead.

Elecktra met Alekzander when she was small and ever since that first meeting she has followed him around everywhere she showing up out of nowhere when he expects it the least giving him a tap on the shoulder. Alekzander has always been nice to her or at least as kinder to her than he has ever been to anyone else. Sometimes Elecktra would help him out on a job but then there were other times when she would stowaway on his Scythe.

Narita was jealous of Elecktra and wanted her out of the way so she could have Alekzander all to herself and made plans to have her taken care of. Her plan worked for a while but what she didn’t count on was Alekzander one day going to look for Elecktra and what he found cost Elecktra to lose something close and dear to her heart. But Elecktra was not going to give up what she lost and vowed that one day she would find him and take back what it took from her.

The Brede Chronicles was a very engrossing read that keep you glued to your seat racing from one planet to another trying to figure out where the characters were going to end up next and what kind of trouble they were going to be in when they finally managed to settle down a bit. My favorite character was Elecktra she seemed to be the only one with any kind of feelings and could make you feel what they were feeling and wanting to know more about the story and kept you going.  The ending just blew me away it was one that I never saw coming and made me so sad. I can’t wait to check out the next book for more adventures with the crew of The Brede Chronicles.

I would recommend The Brede Chronicles to anyone who may be a fan of Star Wars or Star Trek.
