Dusty Reads #10: The Web of Titan & The Cassini Code by Dom Testa!



Dusty Reads is a weekly meme, hosted by Giselle @ Xpresso Reads, featuring a book that has been sitting unread on our home shelf for some time. 
  
Books don't have to be 'x' years old. If you've had the book for a few months without reading it, it's dusty! ;)
 

Ok, so this time 2 books: books #2 & #3 from Dom Testa's Galahad series: The Web of Titan & The Cassini Code. This is YA sci-fi series & I enjoyed a lot the 1st book The Comet's Curse, (it was actually a book I've won from a fellow blogger). Last year I bought  The Web of Titan & The Cassini Code, but haven't gotten around to them, hopefully this year I will, 'cause I should catch up, 'cause there are already six books published...

After triumphing over a saboteur bent on destroying Galahad, Triana and her Council are eager to avoid any further complications. But as Galahad swings around the ringed planet Saturn, they encounter a mysterious metal pod orbiting the moon of Titan. The teens prepare to bring the pod and its contents aboard, only to be faced with a another crisis: an illness that is beyond their medical experience. Dozens of crew members fall into a comatose state, only to awaken with strangely glowing eyes. To make matters worse, the systems of Galahad begin to fail. With time running out, can Triana and her shipmates escape the Web of Titan?
The teenage crew of Galahad has survived their first encounter with an alien race. Though shaken by the power of The Cassini, Triana and her Council are determined to continue their mission. But some of the crew don’t agree. Led by the charismatic Merit Simms, a small group of crew members begins lobbying for a return to Earth—just as the ship enters the Kuiper Belt, the deadly minefield of asteroids that surrounds the solar system.
As Galahad dodges a storm of asteroids, Triana finds herself dealing with an increasingly hostile crew. Even some members of the Council are beginning to listen to Merit’s arguments. Can Triana find a way to prevent a mutiny aboard Galahad, and lead her crew to safety?
