Book 2 of 3: The Sergey Chronicles

See all formats and editions

“Read handles action-adventure scenes with that rare mixture of poise and authority, grace and grittiness, which leaves a reader breathless, heart-pounding, wholly caught up in the story. There is a balance few writers achieve—she neither glorifies the violence nor denies the glory due to courage and honor.” —Elizabeth Moon, Nebula Award winner for The Speed of Dark

Reunited with his family, Tristan struggles to find common ground to build a relationship with Lujan Sergey, commander of the Unified Worlds’ special forces and the father he’s never known. A new universe is beginning to open for him when a new crisis occurs, and Tristan is pressed to volunteer for hazardous service.

The alien masuk slavers are about to attack the Issel system and only Tristan, once held captive there, knows the planetary defenses well enough to penetrate them. But he’ll have to pass the demanding Spherzah training—and conquer the demons in his own past—in order to participate.

A new war threatens, and it will take all of the Sergey family to survive it. But when an assassin tries to intervene, will all of the family still be alive to see it through?

Diann "D.T." Read's 23-year career in the U.S. Air Force, which included tours of duty in the Republic of Korea, Bosnia, and Iraq, became "live in" research for her books and indelibly influenced the stories she tells. She learned her craft from such mentors as Orson Scott Card, C.J. Cherryh, Elizabeth Moon, and David Farland.

The Sergey Chronicles trilogy, written as Diann Thornley Read, tells the story of a military family caught at the center of politics during an interstellar war, while the Seventh Shaman series follows a young man from a shamanic society who must battle the grim demands of his culture as well as an interstellar threat.

Diann is married to Jon S. Read, and they live in Texas. She would be pleased to hear from you and answer your questions about her books. You may reach her at:

Echoes of Issel by D. T. Read is an excellent book!

Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2023

Verified Purchase

I loved this book! The author, D. T. Read, has taken the time to fully develop her characters, plot and much more! Her characters, both the Sergey family and others, are fully believable! They have deep feelings, beliefs and experiences, which make them both relatable and believable. Her plot was deep and rich with events and intrigue that build her story perfectly. I thoroughly enjoyed how she interweaves the family life of the Sergey family through the events of the war between the Unified Worlds, Issel, and the masuki. Her political intrigue, delivered in various ways, whether in small vignettes, or larger sequences, exquisitely articulated the depth of the serious and desperate situation of Issel and the Unified Worlds. I enjoyed her depiction of the different societies on the different planets, and how they operated, what their climates and living conditions are like. As for action scenes, they are realistic, believable and excellent! I have read many science fiction war novels over the years, and this book is, I think, the best science fiction war novel I have ever read.

Terrific read . . . can't wait to read book 3

Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2023

So much happened in this book and you feel like you're right next to Tristan the whole time - experiencing all the emotions and being part of the adventures. I love the action and turn of events that keep you turning the pages. I thought the first book in the series was great, but the 2nd book was even better. Might as well buy the trilogy because you know you're going to want it :)

A military sci-fi book with lots of heart!

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023

The second installment of D.T. Read's Sergey Chronicles, Echoes of Issel was an amazing read. Full of military intrigue, complex family relationships, honor and duty to self, family, country, and the Unified Worlds.

Read has masterfully written a world (actually several worlds) that will enamor most every reader who enjoys military strategies, that family is important and reading about characters who make hard right choices rather than easy wrong ones, this book is for you.

As a military brat and spouse, as well as the mom of many, I found this book engaging on many levels. Hard choices have to be made (and are), yet there is a lot of heart as the very big galaxy of worlds, gets pared down to the Sergey family as they heal from being separated for years, forced to endure many difficulties and make an effort to strengthen bonds that have been loosed and cut unwillingly. Rebuilding relationships that have been damaged by lies, hardships, and unspeakable trials.

D.T. Read writes strongly from her experience as a 23 year Air Force veteran and someone with a huge heart. I strongly recommend Echoes of Issel and look forward the Book 3.

Honor Harrington Level Space Politics Mixed With Orson Scott Card Level Characters

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023

I loved this read. So often when there is a young character growing into his own the reader has to focus solely on that stage of life. Not in this one. The family dynamics and interactions are so much fuller than most books. Especially with military focus. This military family has complete characters that interact in ways that make sense for the stages of life they are in. The exploration of large sprawling space societies and how they would have to interact is also masterful. It really is a great story. The only downside is now I am struggling to find something else to read that is as enjoyable while I wait for the sequel.

The action never ends

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2023

“Echoes” is a superb continuation of Tristian’s story. Not only recovering from the trauma of his captivity and escape, he also has to deal with reuniting with the father he never knew, being thrust into an unfamiliar family dynamic with both his parents. But he has not yet left Issel behind.
DT Reed’s second Sergey Chronicles novel combines the breathless rush of war and rescue with the poignant process of a father and son getting to know, trust, and perhaps love each other.

Another great military sci-fi read by an outstanding author

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023

Book 2 in the Sergey chronicles is outstanding, maybe even better than Book 1. This is a great read, a clean military sci-fi book with exciting plot lines and memorable characters. The battle scenes are realistic and gripping. The author handles the issue of military family separations particularly well. And if you are a person of faith, you will also love this book. I highly recommend it.

What was torn apart has been reunited but stress fractures are more than apparent.

Reviewed in Australia on November 17, 2023

Verified Purchase

Tris struggles to deal with a father he’d largely forgotten, post traumatic stress, grief over the death of his Gan brother and introduction to an entirely new life. He isn’t alone there, his mother is also finding the transition difficult but having always found solace in work, she seeks to return to medical studies and catch up on all the medical achievements of nearly 25 years. Lujan, Tris’s father, also has his fair share of trouble adjusting, he lost a young wife and a son of only 3, he is reunited with a wife, who has aged in adversity and illness and a son who takes mistrustful teenager to the extreme. There is war on the horizon as well which just serves to complicate everything, Lujan as admiral is needed seemingly everywhere and Tris has been cursed with total recall and his intelligence is found to be vital in the war effort even though he is a civilian. The book is filled with drama, pathos and action and contains very descriptive prose describing the effects of stress, captivity and desperation.
