Sunscapes Trilogy: Last Chance records the competition of the Shay twins who are the owners of Shay Corporation and Webster Griffin, owner and founder of Quasicore. Adelmo Givliani is an indentured employee with Quasicore who along with Sinsudee Shay and her brother Manakai are out to right a wrong inherited from their father. Sinsudee pays off Adelmo's debt then offers him a job with their corporation, neither realizing the feelings that will transpire between them on this incredible space adventure. Ms. O'Leary delivers a romance that seizes the elements of love and hate. Her flare for writing sends the reader on a journey that mesmerizes and enthralls while anticipating the next installments to follow. It is fast-paced action at its best with an adventure sure to please. The story captivates and draws the reader into a space travel that is completely riveting. I could practically visualize the space environment that Ms. O'Leary created making it unique in every way. She gives all her characters depth with a plot that doesn't stop. There were times I wanted to say, 'take me along.' An excellent read.
