Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Alexander Outland:Space Pirate by G.J. Koch


This is in the vein of the Stainless Steel Rat, irreverent humor with lots of action.  The story appears to be a setup for a series.  Characters are introduced an fleshed out throughout the plot.   The crew of the Sixty-Nine faces off against Lucky Pierre and the French Ticklers.   The Sixty-Nine being light hearted and opposed to mass murder while the other villains not so much. 

Ms. Koch does a great job crafting likeable rogues.   The characters are given some back story and are not facile.  Some of the technology is imbued with personality and feelings with the supposition that AI will continue to evolve.  

The story is good fun and a pleasant read.

I recommend. 

This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
