Capital Starship by Scott Bartlett
4.0
“Capital Starship” is Bartlett’s first entry in his latest series, “Ixan Legacy.” “Starship” returns us to the Milky Way, where humanity and other species have picked up the fallen pieces of the Ixan war. Bartlett’s new series is off to a stellar start!
“Starship” is a masterpiece in terms of literary criticism. Bartlett does an amazing job of taking elements from today’s societies and warping them in an extreme version which mirrors our reality. Reverse discrimination, employment quotas, white privilege, etc., you will be hard pressed not to find an area Bartlett does not weave into his story. Not every character is as well-developed, but by the end of the novel, it was apparent this was by design.
In honesty, this reviewer found the beginning of the story slow, but in fairness to Bartlett, the groundwork had to be laid to give understanding to new readers just joining the series, and to those of us, who wondered what happened to the victors of the Second Ixan War. “Starship” sets the stage for a great series!
If you have enjoyed Bartlett’s previous novels in the Ixan universe, I believe you will love his latest entry.
