The Observer Effect: A space opera adventure (Singularity Book 2) Kindle Edition
After a disaster leaves their diplomatic ship destroyed and the ragged survivors numbering only dozens, Ambassador Alba Espina’s mission goes from negotiating a political alliance with a previously uncontacted sapient species, to trying desperately to keep the tiny band of survivors alive in a hostile alien environment.
Surviving first contact with the aliens is hard enough. But it soon becomes apparent that these aliens are hiding something they’re willing to kill to keep secret. The desperate remnants of the crew is looking to Alba to save them, and searching for answers risks their survival. But now that both species knows the other exists, if Alba doesn’t find out what the aliens are hiding, she risks the survival of every human in the Joias System.

About the author

R.M. Olson writes feel-good space opera featuring diverse casts, found families, and loads of action. R.M. has ridden the Trans Siberian railway, jumped off the highest bungee jump in the world, gone cage-diving with great white sharks, faced down a charging buffalo bull, and knows how to milk a goat. Currently they reside in Alberta, Canada with their four children, three cats, and a dog the size of a small bear. R.M. goes hiking and skiing more often than they probably have time for, eats more chocolate than is probably good for them, and reads more books than is probably prudent.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2023Keeping me intrigued by all the different plots!! Can’t wait to get the next one! Going to download it now!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2024Another fun romp with my favorite crew! I love every character to absolute pieces!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2022Wow!! This takes off where book 1 ended and the reader is not left disappointed. Our strange and eclectic survivors of the portal closing are stranded on an alien planet. The politics, language, and customs are unknown to the humans, but they manage to (mostly) figure it out.
The characters are awesome and the world building is pretty incredible. It's really easy to envision this planet and the aliens as the future of humanity.
I highly recommend this series!
I read an ARC of this book and chose to leave an honest review.
