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.
