The Web of Titan by Dom Testa

Testa, Dom The Web of Titan, 247 p. TOR, JULY 2010.  $16.99.  The teens aboard Galahad survived their first danger in their journey through space – now they are headed directly into trouble again, even if they don’t know it.  They have been told to pick up a special package orbiting the moon Titan.  What do they find – a cat.  And then the problems begin.  Some of the crew are very ill; the engines are pushing into the red line.  What or who could be doing this to them?  And besides the threat of imminent death, there is  emotional turmoil all over the ship – how could there not be with a ship of teens?  While we meet a few more crew members on the Galahad this time, the focus is still mostly on the Council, and especially Triana.  I actually wish that these books were longer so that we could meet more crew members – get more details of the ship and the personalities.  I am looking forward to book #3 now – I hope the wait isn’t too long.
