For one thing, her best friend Hugo has gone missing, the latest in a string of BlackSea members who have been kidnapped by a mysterious enemy. In summary, things are kind of intense for Bo at the moment.īo and Kaia have an instant connection, but it’s one that Kaia resists. So his immediate future either holds death, a fate he considers worse than death, or possibly a normal life with a brain free from the threat of psychic rape by the Psy. However, it has a high probably of turning him into a vegetable. Death waits if the degradation of the chips can’t be stopped (apparently while Bo was in his coma, the Aleines did come up with a solution that slowed the degradation process somewhat).īo finds out that Attie has developed a compound that, *if* it works, would save him and the other humans from death. Scientists Ashaya and Amara Aleine developed the chip and implanted it at the humans’ insistence when it hadn’t been fully tested, and now those implanted chips are degrading.

In a previous book, Bo and several other members of the Human Alliance were implanted with a brain chip meant to protect them from being mentally invaded by the Psy. But Bo’s not out of the woods, health-wise, for an entirely different reason. He discovers that he’s being treated on an underwater station run by BlackSea, the collective of water changelings, and that he’s alive thanks to a new mechanical heart. It turns out that Bo’s been in a coma for two months, and the world, absent a few key people, think he’s dead. He felt the bullet that hit him explode his heart before he fell off the bridge and into the canal. Before the first chapter ends, Bo has awakened, understandably confused – not only does he not know where he is, he doesn’t know how he’s alive. When Ocean Light opens, Bo is in a coma, watched over by Kaia Luna, an ex-scientist turned cook who is checking on Bo at the request of her very pregnant cousin Attie, who is Bo’s doctor. The assassin is presumably working for the Consortium, the villainous organization out to smash the Trinity Accord. Jennie: On to Ocean Light: late in Silver Silence, Bowen “Bo” Knight, security chief of the Human Alliance, is shot on a bridge in Venice. Janine: I think that might be true, generally speaking. This interested me because my perception has long been that Janine has been a bigger fan of these two series than I am. I graded that book, Silver Silence, a B+, while Janine gave it a C. I know this because when I searched for our last review, from June of 2017, I noted that *that* one was our fifth review together. This is the sixth book of those 18 that Janine and I have reviewed together. Jennie: There have been 16 books in the Psy/Changeling series and now two in the Psy/Changeling Trinity series.
