I loved this book! Rootin, tootin, shooting space western featuring a classic group of freewheeling humans, aliens, battle robots, and AI systems. Great dialog and effective storytelling make this book even better than the previous ones. I hope these guys can keep up the pace as I can't wait to read the next one.
I just live e these characters!Put your good buddy p in space with some decent hardware, great computers and an assortment of incredible friends, then find ways for them to try to repair some really nasty criminal damage. They get it done. Very entertaining and another page turner!
Engage in space funthe relationship between Van and his crew fully develops and is thoroughly entertaining with several laugh out loud moments be sure ro read the first two books I've pre-ordered book 4!
Peacemaker Van Tudor is settling into his new job and new situation just fine. He's earning a name for himself by cracking some very interesting cases that have, good and bad, brought him to the attention of numerous bad guys. But, that comes with the territory. His team of Torina, Perry (an advanced AI in the form of a bird) and Netty (the Farfnir's AI) are doing very well together. And with the recent addition of Icky, an exceptionally talented engineer, they all make quite a team.They are sti...
Still enjoyable, suspenseful and unbelievable Exactly the right combination for a SciFi space opera. That might be redundant. Van is a good mix of “what is this”, swash buckler and all around nerd with a sense of right and wrong. He would make a crappy politician, which is a compliment. This is a feel good book. You know he is going to win because there is a sequel you just don’t know how. I hope the ne t book is soon. Next month would be really nice. I put this next to Delphi in Space. That is
A Great Exciting AdventureThis was a ton of fun to read. While there are certainly some plot holes that I wonder about, I really have enjoyed this series. It's pretty crazy to think that in this universe, even near space to Earth is FILLED with aliens! I've read other series where there isn't alien life anywhere near us. Regardless, I recommend this book to anyone who likes fun space operas and crazy leads.
And the fun continues Great, fun reading from start to finish. Good guys, bad guys and a touch of romance. Spaceship fights, face to face fights and a bird gets thrown. The revenge part could have used some more filler to it. Now the month wait.
Book three was...Book three was much better then books one and two. It felt much more balanced, and the pace of the story felt well rounded. The plot had good transitions between the different subplots and the book ended well!
Love the stories, I am looking forward to finishing the arc.I am loving this series... the Iowa references didn't hurt. ;)Good characters. Interesting adventures. Solid plot development. You will enjoy.
Fun read, non stop story progressionThis series of books has more sub plots than a Clancy novel. The main story/investigation remains constant, but the number of side stories boggles the mind and is all the better for itThis time round, mercenaries, genetically modified weed killer and all the usual pirates and thieves all have there 5 minutes of fame, just prior to Van making deals with them, killing them or on rare occasions actually arresting themIt's a great fun read. Off to the next in the
The story continues with wisecracks and snark.The story continues with more wise cracks and snark. An entertaining and enjoyable escapist read. Just finished too darn soon. Looking forward the the continuation, but dreading the wait for it. The author made a human story with enough future tech to keep a science junkie
Another fun outing in the Backyard Starship series.The characters are fun, interesting, well written and consistent. The story moves along nicely. The action never gets overly violent or unsettling. This is classic space opera that any age from teen to 100 can readily relax and enjoy. I look forward to reading the next in the series.
Anvil dark is a great expansion of the backyard starship series. Van increases his crew with more great characters and adds interesting missions that move the story along at a pace that will have you turning pages well into my the night. A marvelous read.
