Mavericks by Craig Alanson

4.0

Alanson's continuation of this series was enjoyable in Mavericks. Much of the first part of the book took a break from Joe and Skippy, which was actually very needed. When we pick back up with the Dutchman's crew, there's still plenty of banter and serious and funny moments. There's still also lots of conversation between Joe and Skippy, wherein they talk through their majority of dilemmas and overcome them, which is getting a bit trodden as a path.

The law of unintended consequences keeps coming up and it is harder and harder to consider the stakes very high, as when everything is important, nothing is.

But in truth, if you're looking for a nice diversion, it's worth continuing on with this one.
