About: Even though the Merry Band of Pirates have saved the Earth yet again, Leaders on Earth are bickering, and met them with suspicion, disdain, mistrust, and determination. Determination to get Joe Bishop off the team, pull together their own teams, and go figure out the current threat. As if they possibly could. Or, as if they could ever possibly get Skippy to cooperate without Joe aboard. But since the threat of enemy coming to finish destructive work on Earth is oh so real indeed, and Joe is not someone who can just sit and wiggle his thumbs… A plan is set in motion. Grand Theft Spaceship, if you please.
Mine: This book is gloriously written. Jokes will get you, banter is amazing, thriller and action will push you off the chair. This time the story-telling was more place-consistent, which I very much prefer. There was no jumping from Merry Band of Pirates to some planet, like Paradise. There were also a few chapters with inanimate objects having a moment, and those killed me. Really, I’d not recommend a cup of tea with this book.
We finally get to see what Elders looked like, and Skippy gets more of his memories from behind the programmed-in wall. Neither of these news are good, for the dread of Rogue AI’s rises yet again. And there’s just too many questions to yet be answered for Skippy the Magnificent.
If you just want to chill a bit with a good, humor and action fueled militaristic fiction type of sci-fi, this is a book for you. No, the whole series is for you. I loved it, 5 out of 5, and now, a long wait for another one. For there really seems to be room for another one.
