A hard boiled detective story set in space. Jim Meade is a man who lives by the rules, his rules, not societies. Jim finds himself trying to save the world when he thought he was just trying to solve a murder.
The characterizations are good. You like Jim and his Leroy Jethro Gibbs type
of rules. He struggles to be a hard
nosed, no nonsense tough guy but can't hide his innate goodness.
Emeline was a bit of a contradiction. She was introduced as a major butt kicker
but the author seems conflicted with that role.
Several times in the book, she squeals or cowers when her character
seems more likely to knee someone in the groin.
The concept and ensuing rendition were well done. The plot moved quickly and there was plenty
of action. I am fond of this style and
look forward to reading more by Johanson.
I recommend the book.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
