“[I received a free electronic review copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.]
4.5 stars = I loved it! Would re-read.
My favorite book in the series (so far)!! The story is thoroughly engaging, the pacing was consistent and "just right." There are some fun surprises and tons of action - and an epic cliffhanger. I need the next book in my hands NOW!
These books are definitely best read in order. You could skip the "prequel" (Calledonian Gambit), but I did at first and felt like I was missing bits, so I recommend starting from the beginning. The books get stronger as you go along. Sci-fi fans should give this spies-in-space series a try!”

“4.5/5 stars
The Nova Incident is the third book in Dan Moren’s scifi spy thriller series The Galactic Cold War. When a bomb goes off in the capital city of the Commonwealth’s home planet, Simon and his SPT team are called to covertly investigate because of the terrorist group’s ties to an old SPT associate. They must go against both the domestic terror group and the Commonwealth’s own agency to uncover the plot. But all is not sitting well with Simon as he starts questioning his own role and that of the general who has been calling the SPT’s shot.
This is nearly exactly what I have been wanting from this series—the scifi spin on Mission: Impossible that I was promised. This was just a nonstop thrill ride from start to finish—from a terror attack in the first chapter to a confrontation in a space station in the finale. This had plenty of covert operations, unexpected twists and surprises, political intrigue, and fun action sequences. It’s fun, intense, and compulsively entertaining.
Simon really shines here as leader as he takes the central role in the plot with support from Eli and Addy. His questioning faith in what he has been doing is a sharp contrast to his previous characterization and really ups the stakes and drama. I thought Eli could have come across more serious (although I do love him being the most fun of the group), while Addy lost the angry edge that was so prominent before. Tanner didn’t have as much to do, while Nat was gone through most of the book. While the book tells a self-contained story, it does end in a cliffhanger that leaves the SPT in a precarious situation. You have been forewarned!
The Nova Incident is the best installment of this scifi thriller series so far.”
