Title: Defending the Galaxy (Sentinals of the Galaxy 3)
Author: Maria V. Snyder
Publisher: Maria V Snyder
ISBN 13: 978-1946381002

Synopsis:

Year 2522. Oh. My. Stars.

Junior Officer Ara Lawrence here, reporting for duty. Again. It's situation critical for the security team and everyone in the base - including my parents - with a new attack from the looters imminent, a possible galaxy-wide crime conspiracy and an unstoppable alien threat. But this all pales in the face of my mind-blowing discovery about the Q-net. Of course, no one believes me. I'm not sure I believe me. It could just be a stress-induced delusion. That's what my parents seem to believe...

Their concern for me is hampering my ability to do my job. I know they love me, but with the Q-net in my corner, I'm the only one who can help the security team beat the shadowy aliens from the pits we discovered. We're holding them at bay, for now, but the entire Milky Way Galaxy is in danger of being overrun.

With battles on too many fronts, it's looking dire. But one thing I've learned is when people I love are in jeopardy, I'll never give up trying to save them. Not until my dying breath. Which could very well be today...

Review:
Review of Book 1 - Navigating the Stars
Review of Book 2 - Chasing the Shadows

Can Ara save those she loves even when they may not believe her when she reveals the truth about the Q-net? And will their disbelief stop her from trying? Knowing Ara, definitely not.

I properly love this series. I honestly think this would be a great first book for someone who wants to try scifi as it's got a decent amount of space and aliens and that kind of thing but it also offers a really strong character driven story. Ara is an incredible character, she's smart and spunky but also real and relatable. I especially enjoyed the growth she had in this book and how it was handled not only by herself but those around her. 

I would absolutely recommend this book, its a strong ending to a great trilogy and I was very happy with how it wrapped up. 

I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars.
