Kevin W. Herron rated The Heart of Matter: 5 stars

The Heart of Matter by Evan Currie (Odyssey One, #2)
After an epic maiden voyage that introduced Earth to a larger universe—and a cosmos full of terrifying new enemies—Captain Eric …
I've always been curious about what drives people to do the crazy the things they do.
I'm especially drawn to sprawling universes like Star Wars: Legends and The Expanse, where exploration runs up against morality and myth. In my library, alongside these starships and distant empires you'll also find biographies, history, and the occasional book on psychology or the creative process — anything that helps me understand why we humans strive, create, and reach out to one another.
For all the fictional journeys among the stars, I still have a soft spot for swashbuckling tales a little closer to home. The Three Musketeers and The Scarlet Pimpernel have been lifelong favorites — there's something about their particular mix of wit, courage, and moral clarity that never gets old.
Classe Ink is my refuge — a small corner of calm in a world that often feels defiant, polarized, and exhausting. The stories here remind me that empathy still matters, and that imagination can be its own quiet form of resistance.
