The Emperor's New Clothes by Aldous Mercer

It ends too abruptly. I have a feeling all the parts do, and they're not all out yet... Damn.

I like Royce. I like him a lot.

This book... While I appreciate the idea of intergalactic heist, the execution, I believe, fails miserably. This is not just my opinion, this is a common thread through many a review and confusion is a persistent theme.
Unfortunately I don’t have the omnibus edition. I wonder if the editing is better in it or the parts were stitched together as they were: raw, choppy, and as confusing as a pet viper in the baby’s nappies (tho I do not dislike the humour of this arrangement).

welcome to the party.

fantastic banter between two former lovers set against a galactic heist caper?

yes, please.

laughs, sexual tension, and a hero just begging for a movie: mr. royce ree, imperial spy and jilted boyfucker extraordinaire.

i had a blast—and immediately went on to the second installment.

if you don't like cliffhangers, i recommend you buy the omnibus edition—because it was all i could to do to wait for the next part to download without throwing a tantrum.
