For those of you who read my reviews, you are already aware
that I really like butt
kicking female protagonists. If you
haven’t read my reviews (or any of my Charlotte
series picture books) then take note, I really like strong female
protagonists. I am mystified as to the
number of closet misogynists who are unable to understand that strong female
characters are essential in helping young women to reach their potential. Or, maybe they are aware and are terrified of
the result. Digression is part of my
nature, while a teacher some of the best class reactions came from going down
an unexpected path and discovering new and wondrous things. However this book is about a down and almost
out fighter pilot after an interstellar war.
Her goal is to retrieve her daughter but she needs a star ship to get
there. Along the way she gathers a
motley mixed crew and faces dire circumstances.
Buroker has an easy to read style that draws you into the
story. She provides a hard core fighter
pilot with a crusty shell who has a strongly developed conscience and a
reluctantly open mind. The quirky
support cast provides both humor and depth to the story. Beck is the first armored warrior I’ve
encounters who is also a grill master.
This story has plenty of action, some good role models and
provides good old fashioned entertainment.
I recommend it.
This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
