Great fun read! Very Firefly-ish in vibe. A world torn apart after consecutive wars, with lots of competing loyalties making life for a worn-down pilot hard.
Frey, captain of the Ketty Jay, thinks he’s finally hit the big time when an offer too good to refuse comes his way. Guess what? Yeah, it turns out to be anything but.
The world of the novel is complex and interesting. And if it isn’t detailed all that much in this book, I understand why. It’s told mostly from Frey’s POV and he hasn’t really been paying attention to much of anything. His tunnel vision, in fact, is what sets him up for subsequent events.
I also enjoyed mightily the way Frey and the other members of his crew grew through the story. Adversity, and necessity, making each and every one of them step up and stop being a bunch of losers and becoming a functioning crew.
Highly recommended. 4 1/2 out of 5 stars!
