Fate can hold a grudge. For fugitives of the Regime, Sela Tyron and Jon Veradin, the evidence is undeniable. Their escape into the Reaches meant a chance at a new life together without looking over their shoulders. However, in this savage, hardscrabble region, the pair quickly find themselves targeted by scheming alien gangsters and cybernetically-enhanced Guild agents. What else could go wrong?… agents. What else could go wrong?
She was supposed to be dead. That was the plan anyway.
When a mysterious young woman with strange abilities wakes up as a prisoner of vicious Zenti pirates, a miraculous resurrection is the least of her concerns. Facing a host of new dangers, she needs to escape and find her brother. Can she trust a self-confessed spy to help or does he have an agenda of his own?
If you love gritty, epic space opera like The Expanse or Firefly, this second book in the Allies and Enemies series is meant for you.
Suit up. Time to join the fight.

As we start the second Allies and Enemies book, the action is following Erelah Veradin as she wakes up, surprised to be alive, and finds she is the captive of pirates led by Asher Korbyn, in the lawless Reaches. As the two become uneasy allies, they go from one adventure to another, all while Erelah hopes to find a way to reunite with her brother Jon and his partner/lover Sela Tyron. Her nemesis, Tristic, has managed to establish herself among the humans and uses them to search for “the one that got away,” which is Erelah. Meanwhile, it has been two years since Erelah disappeared and Jon and Sela believe her to be dead, although Jon still has some hope in his heart for his sister’s survival. They run into their own troubles, as they try to stay one step ahead of the Guilds and gangsters in the dangerous, unruly Reaches, far away from the law and order they’re used to. Of course nothing comes easy, and there will be more trouble for them all before their hopes are realized. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this great series, so I’m off to read the next book, Exiles.
That is what is happening with John and Ty in one part of the universe. While Erelah and Asher are also in tight fix too In their part of the Galaxy.
Boy when things go wrong, they go throughly wrong. This is action filled adventure full of interesting conclusions on some of the various characters.

5/5
Allies and Enemies: Rogue is book 2 in the Allies and Enemies series. While reading the first book would be preferable, it’s not really necessary- you could easily follow along without being too lost. However, the cliffhanger at the end of Rogue is insane!!!! Told from multiple POVs the story converges and explodes. The action and adventure throughout keeps you guessing and gripping onto the edge of your seat. Amy J, Murphy has created an epic world where everything and nothing is as it seems. You dint know who to trust and who will turn on you. Fantastic story!
I received this audiobook for free from StoryOrigin. This is my honest and voluntary review.
Another good listen. I enjoyed the story very much it was written well and followed a logical line. These poor folks can’t seem to catch a break but among the chaos they still find love. This is by no means a romance book it just barely touches on it. The characters are running all over space trying to find each other and pick up friends on the way. Some they are still trying to figure out if they can trust. I am sure everything will come right in the end. The narrator did a better job on this book you could feel the emotion in her voice and that is what I like. She seemed knowledgeable of the topics she was narrating so she took the time to become familiar before recording. I am looking forward to the next book.
