A review by hlau
Brushfire by Craig Alanson
4.0
This series is still plenty of fun. The transition for the Merry Band of Pirates in this edition was inevitable. The nice thing that Alanson does is approach most of the situations logically, even when introducing deus ex machina technology and solutions to the challenges posed. It's the same level of logically introduced sci-fi that we get in Stargate SG-1. In fact, it's the exact kind. Introduce the rules and follow them and you can't just win, and you can't just be in bad situations for drama's sake. Otherwise, the stakes would be bafflingly dumb. Which anyone who has read Saga of the Seven Suns would understand.
Eleven books in and this is shaping up to be one of the more entertaining series I've encountered, and even at the midway point I don't feel any fatigue.
