Trouble in Mind (Interstellar Rescue Series Book 2) by Donna S. Frelick – Review by Francis O’Sullivan

Trouble in Mind by Donna S. Frelick
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Trouble in Mind is the second book in Donna S. Frelick’s Interstellar Rescue Series. As the name suggests, it is an action-packed science fiction series. There’s plenty of mystery and excitement, as well as romance along the way.
The Interstellar Rescue Series juxtaposes a rich extra-terrestrial sci fi setting (one can see the influence of Star Trek, amongst others) with modern day earth. As with the previous book, Unchained Memory, we see people trying to come up with mundane explanations for crimes that turn out to be part of something much bigger.
Frelick tells the story from a number of different perspectives at once, showing us how connected events are unfolding. It is always clear where and who we are reading about, so it is easy to follow and the changes in perspective help build suspense.
I enjoyed this book a lot – it gets five stars from me! I’d definitely recommend starting with the first book to get some background. This is a great series if you like sci fi with plenty of aliens, and also like Earth-based detective and mystery stories. It’s very much a page-turner, with some great characters!
