Argonauts of the Void: To Sail Beyond the Darkness
Twenty-five years after our universe nearly succumbed to the very Incarnation of Destruction, and three years after Doctor Damien Howard asked Charlotte Omandi to assemble a crew for Earth’s first starship, Bladerunner, a new adventure has begun.William Thorne, first born son to the Sentinel and Soulborn of Order, has been offered a critical mission from the unlikeliest of angelic sources. He is to join Captain Omandi as a member of Bladerunner’s crew, and open a portal to the void that separates our universe from others.
Captain Omandi is left with a nearly impossible choice. Accept someone she does not know, but who wields a power that is indistinguishable from magic, into her close knit Bladerunner family, or risk never finding the man she loves, Thomas Rogers, who was lost within the void between worlds.
With her decision made, Charlotte and her crew become argonauts of the void, able to touch countless worlds in as many different universes. However, the same source who tasked William Thorne with his mission, now guides Bladerunner to its initial destination, a planet called Londë, where magic rules, and science is but a dream.
Join Charlotte, William, and the crew of Bladerunner, as they try to unravel Londë’s age-old prophesy that promised to bring Harmony to a war ravaged world. If they are truly the ones who were promised, Bladerunner and all aboard her must first Sail beyond the darkness.

While Argonauts of the Void, contains characters and situations first introduced in the Sentinels of Creation and Paradigm 2045 series, readers can enjoy this series without having read either or both the others. That said, for those of you who have previously enjoyed my Sentinels and/or Paradigm series, I hope you are especially pleased to revisit some of your favorite characters.

Hmmm, well, that was different.
I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. I enjoyed the Sentinels of Creation series and Paradigm books, so when I saw that they crossed paths in this series I thought I would give it a try. And I did. And I'm not sure what to make of it.
This is not my first introduction to Fantasy-Sci-Fi combo meal. J.S. Morin's Black Ocean books holds that spot for my first introduction to space wizards, at least in the novel sense. Morin's books are always a fun read and it somehow makes magic space ships just work. This book missed something in joining those two genres. In Ross' universe, magic comes as a direct gift from "god" and not some other mechanic or force. Angles and demons exist. But ultimately their power comes from "the creator". This was fine for the Sentinels books, but completely missed the mark on Omadie's space adventure. I found the constant struggle between the space crew trying to make sense of creators magic a bit too much, it strayed a bit past metaphysical and into a you must have faith tone.
This book was fine. It served it's purpose to entertain me dur to the lact of substance on streaming services these days. But, I will not be in a rush to pick up the next book in the series. Not giving up on Ross' works, but I'll let the series marinated for a while and see what others have to say before I pick up book 2.
