Having not read the first book I did struggle with this at the start with all the diferent characters.
This is a real fun read with great characters and a wonderful plot.
I found it to be a mixture of Star Trek and Doctor Who with the time travel.
I will certainly be reading the first book in the series sometime in the future.

"Singularity" eBook was published in 2019 and was written by Rick Lakin (http://www.ricklakin.com). Mr. Lakin has published two novels. This is the second of his "StarCruiser Brilliant" series. 

I categorize this novel as ‘G’. The story is set in the not too distant future on Earth. The primary character is Jennifer Gallagher, actress, tech entrepreneur, and Brilliant crew member. 

Gallagher is incredibly successful at everything she tries and is only 17. The Brilliant's crew meets with the Blue Angels and does some incredible flying with them. They also debut some of the capabilities of Brilliant before the public. They must contend with a presidential candidate that is campaigning against robots. They must also go on a deep space mission to confront a bioterrorism attack. 

I thought that the 7.5+ hours I spent reading this 386-page science fiction novel were interesting. This is a Young Adult novel and one that seems to be targeted at the very young end of that category. While second in the series, this novel reads pretty well on its own. I felt that the plot seemed to be targeted more at the grade school age reader. For me, the plot was far too simple. The chosen cover art is OK. I give this novel a 3.3 (rounded down to a 3) out of 5.
