Book Description:
To boost waning interest in interstellar travel, a mission is sent into deep space to learn the truth about "moonriders," the strange lights supposedly being seen in nearby systems. But Academy pilot Valentina Kouros and the team of the starship Salvator will soon discover that their odyssey is no mere public-relations ploy, for the moonriders are not a harmless phenomenon. They are very, very dangerous-in a way that no one could possibly have imagined.

Absolutly loved 'Chindi'. I read 'Chindi' first which I did not know was part of the Academy series.

Be advised that this book is about politics and people. The author develops political intrigues and struggles fairly well, in fact,
too well, as this takes up almost all of the action. By page volume, there is little adventure and much commentary.

'Odyssey' takes over 300 pages before it finally picks up any pace, only to ramble on to its conclusion 120 pages later. If you
decide to go for this read, just skip the first 3/4 of the book and pick up from there.
