Review: The Widening Gyre

The Widening Gyre by Michael R. Johnston
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

In The Widening Gyre, humans are a second class people under the Zhen Empire, they had been saved by the Zhen many many years ago and Earth’s location has been forgotten or lost.

Tajen Hunt is a human who used to be in the Zhen Empire fleet, a hero to them but after a military disaster he retired and now and spends his time exploring space in his ship.

He’s contacted by his estranged brother and races to go help him....but he’s too late......!

Tajen and his ‘crew’ then start a quest to find Earth, but the Zhen do not want it found.......what follows is an action packed, fast paced space opera, with great characters, some fantastic world building and lots of tech and weaponry. An overall enjoyable read.
