This is epic science fiction at its finest. Realistic far future worlds. Incredible characters and scenarios.
Cameron knows how to tell a story, regardless of whether we are going back in history or forward in time.
Until this book I had forgotten just how much I love good science fiction and Cameron’s is not just good, it’s exceptional.
The concepts are staggering and intensely interesting.
Now Danny is the most wanted criminal in the Empire…
Danny has just barely averted the array’s plans to dominate the Empire, and now must face the wrath of the Imperial Shield, and dodge a galaxy full of Imperial Rangers who want her dead.
Until now, she has had the help of her crew and the fabulous ship, The Supreme Lythion, to get her through any challenges, but the array quickly sends her crew and the ship to the four corners of the known worlds, and isolates Danny in the worst circumstances.
She is severed from all she knows, with nothing to her name and must fight back one painful step at a time…

Danny and Sauli and Varg star in this story of capture, escape, ingenuity, determination, and integrity. There’s plenty of action and excitement, plot twists, and a surprising ending to take your breath away. Immaculate writing!
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader copy of this book.
Another winner for Cameron Cooper. Great science fiction without too much science but what science there is is well plotted, fits into the story and actually makes sense. This is a continuing story. I recommend reading them in order because the story develops from book to book. Realistic characters, tight writing without useless red herrings and disappearing story lines. Original, interesting and well written. Highly recommend.
Severed is rife with tense suspense and thrills, as lives and loves hang in the balance with seemingly hopeless odds.
Action and tension are balanced by the continued development of interpersonal relationships between characters creating a depth and emotional charge to the story that held me enthralled.
The beautifully crafted plot is enhanced by scene-setting descriptions of other-worldly spaces. The details of the unique world are mind-boggling but they add to the rich texture that makes this space world and it's series of Houdini-like escape scenes so believable.
So many elements of the plot and twists of the whole series culminate to make each book in the series even better than the last...for me, especially in this story, it was the loving humanity and honour of the characters.
I highly recommend this book but it's best to start at book one (Hammer and Crucible) of the Imperial Hammer series...and like me you'll be eagerly awaiting the next book to see what Danny does next!
