The Athena is in the Zeus system, and NARC takes on the most hazardous assignment in its history. Zeus is controlled by Equinox Industries. The city of Elysium is on the brink of corporate war... Angel war has already begun. But Angel, Equinox and the gas giant Zeus are locked in a deadly embrace ... and soon all of NARC is involved. Elysium is at war with itself; at the conflict's heart is Equinox, controlling industry, politics - and the Angel trade? Hard evidence is elusive. The hunt takes Jarrat and Stone across the Zeus system, into battlefield engagements ... a supersonic dogfight ... a brute-force slugging-match in the docking bays of Eos ... and the showdown between NARC and Equinox. When hightech fails, courage, quick wits and keen empathy might still win through. Jarrat and Stone share the rank of captain, command of the Athena, and the bonding which was their very survival.

4.0 out of 5 stars
It's ok...,

This review is from: Equinox: Narc #2 (Paperback)
The Narc series is chronicled over four novels and a novella (NARC 3 1/2), published over a wide span of years, from 1991 to 2007.
The narrative style is uneven, but improves somewhat towards the end of the series - the author tends to forget that the reader is not inside his head and privy to his thoughts. The two narcotics agency enforcers and co-captains of space carrier 'NARC Athena', Kevin Jarrat and Jerry Stone, are lovers. In a high-tech, inter-galactic society they fight and crush 'Angel' cartels, Angel being a devastatingly lethal drug. Each of the books of the series deals with the eradication of a cartel on a colony world; the final book with a cartel on the home world. The books are written over a sort of template, which can become somewhat tedious and repetitive. There are interesting, even likeable, characters in the books and loads of action. There are too much emphasis on guns for my taste, but that could just be me. I like that the sex episodes are not over the top and fits naturally into the story line. I am in doubt whether to give three or four stars, but as I bought all five books and read them with some enjoyment, I think three stars would be a bit harsh, so four it is. Could I, like Mel Keegan, use 3 1/2 I'd do that. I have trouble reconciling myself with the fact that this is the author of 'Fortunes of War' (1995); 'Fortunes' being far the better book, in my opinion - I even included it in my listmania on Amazon.com. But Mel Keegan's authorship is very uneven, encompassing books that are downright annoying and amateurish, at least to me. NARC 1: Death's Head 1991 NARC 2: Equinox 1993 NARC 3: Scorpio 2004 NARC 3 1/2: Stopover 2007 NARC 4: Aphelion 2007
