Variant (Finding Serenity Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 181 ratings

One hundred years of stasis and a one-way ticket.

They expected a barren planet: soil, water, and at best microbe level life.

Instead, they found a verdant world full of diverse life…and a city advanced beyond understanding.

A planet, once their hope and now a source of confusion that might soon turn to despair.

A planet, but not their planet.

No, someone else had got there first.

Publisher's note: Variant is the second book in the Predictive Series. A science fiction, action-thriller set against a backdrop of a colonization war.

    Variant is a a great read that continues the story of Eva and Landon from Predictive. I enjoyed that book and was anxious to learn about the next part of their journey as they head to a new world away from the threat of the Federation. As always the author gives us a wonderful blend of characters, action, and suspense in Variant. We learn that the crew must now adapt to life on "Serenity" in ways that none of them expected. Ms. Lane gives us a great sci fi story with a military aspect that uses the variant talent of Landon and the predictive talent of Eva to help them survive on this new planet. I highly recommend this book, you won't want to stop reading it once you start.

    I am so pleased with this book! It's really nice to know where Serenity came from. I loved Landon, Jax, Eva, Eric and Riley the most. Merrick was a blast too! This was definitely worth the read!

    This was a great story and an interesting new world that author has created. I love the overall storyline and characters. However, it lacks something. The relationships between the main characters are very underdeveloped. The resolution to the conflict is also solved in an underwhelming way. I liked the book but I wish there was about 100 more pages or a third book to solve these issues.

    Waking from a 100 year stasis, Eva, Landon, and the rest of the crew are confronted with a reality that should not be - a planet that has already been colonized. The serenity that they hoped to find, hoped to nurture and grow with this new beginning, is not to be. The war has followed them here, lightyears away. Their ship has been sabotaged, Eva attacked and incapacitated, and their new home planet full of destructive forces. The twists and turns that this story takes are gripping and suspenseful with a very satisfying conclusion. Highly, highly recommend!

    I enjoyed this book more than the vast majority of Science Fiction books I have read this year. I liked the story line and the unique perspective of the life as a "Predictive". I look forward to reading additional works from L. V. Lane as I believe that they gave the potential to become a truly amazing source of character focused stories.

    This book was extremely interesting and enjoyable to read. It continued a large selection Of humorous
    conversation, sarcastic statements that entertained me constantly. I enjoyed this book as much as I did the Predictive,Book I. I could not stop reading either book.

    Okay, loved everything, except no one ever talks about the relationships or progression!!!!! Can we get a book 3, where all other ships land and maybe there’s competition from new arrivals that forces people to own their feelings??? And maybe we get, some alpha and omega genetic tampering with the city builders coming back home, only to realize Goldilocks is sleeping in they’re beds???? I was glued to reading this but the intense sex chemistry leads to an mysterious relationship except Rachel and M.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect sequel to Predictive
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 17, 2024
    At first I thought this story couldn't be as good as it's prequel Predictive.
    I'm very happy I was wrong.
    It's thrillingly good until the end.

    What a find. Loved this series. Drama, personalities, war, peace and passions. Believable new world. When's the next one? I need to know what happens next! Eva and Landon, Jax, Riley and the gang..... Please?! Couldn't stop reading this.

    5.0 out of 5 stars More sci-fi than her other works
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 23, 2021
    I’ve read the other series by LV Lane and came to this one last. I have to say enjoyed it a lot and probably more than most of the others. I hope there will be some additions to the series. The books are longer so the characters have time to develop and the stories are more about what they are all facing rather then focusing on the relationships of a couple of people. Both books are much more action oriented with some betrayal and intrigue thrown in as well. There’s more to the new world for us to discover so I hope the author carries on with this series.
