A review by adamjcalhoun
Battle Cruiser by B.V. Larson
3.0
Battle Cruiser has one of my favorite premises: a hulking ship is found from an alien civilization. What mysteries await!?
The book is fun and the universe is interesting but the characters are flat and GOD does the author lean on the characters-do-what-the-plot-needs trope. It is frustrating when characters have no motivation other than what the plot demands, are frustrating for the sake of being frustrating.
I would probably read the next one (err, listen to it on audiobook) if it was heavily on sale but I don't know that I could recommend it in good conscious unless you were a fan of this particular scenario.
