The Brell Sturlach Adventures (Books 1-3)

Three books for the price of 1. The Brell Sturlach Adventures (Books 1-3)A science fiction action-adventure series. Intriguing storylines. Interesting characters. Humour. No romance. Brell Sturlach, late thirties, former senior Police Corps officer, convict, and cargo pilot, is never far from trouble. but is determined to rebuild her life despite past regrets. In Deep Yellow, she is in prison, after a career destroying incident, when she is selected to take part in Convict Challenge where she must solve clues, remain sober, and fight her way through a series of alien holographic 'worlds'.
Her challengers include ex-soldiers, a nun, and a man from her past, whom she previously tried to kill. The first challenge takes place in the Rome world. At the beginning of The Search for Locardum, Brell is piloting her cargo freighter when Police Corps demand she find a large, hidden stash of Locardum - a rare ore used in creating deadly laser weapons. If she fails, she will return to prison. Accompanied by an undercover officer and an unusual android, she is immediately in difficulty.
The person who may provide vital information is likely to die in the latest version of Convict Challenge and a psychotic criminal is also seeking the Locardum. The Fight for Locardum starts with Brell attempting to liberate a previous enemy of hers, who is due to be executed. Together with her android assistant and unauthorised Police Corps support, they must transport the Locardum to safety before it falls into criminal hands.
As usual, nothing goes smoothly. Cue shootouts, raids, fights, explosions, and Brell's pursuance of the man who murdered her partner. The three books, previously published separately, have been refreshed, re-edited and released in this new version series.... Loved the characters and their backgrounds and the action. Thoroughly satisfied... (Amazon review)... A good fast paced read that never got bogged down in detail...
