Star Risk LTD by Chris Bunch

Star Risk is a mercenary outfit.   The staff are those who really haven’t fit in other place or have been let go for being too independent.   The premise launched a five book series and this is book one.   The diverse group gets a job due to nepotism or perhaps not.   The job is to track down who is claim jumping in an asteroid belt mining venture.

M’chel Riss, a former Alliance Marine (there are no ex-marines) and Chas Goodnight, a bester, are the primary protagonists.   A bester is an enhanced special operations agent that goes into overdrive when a battery is shoved, ahh placed in what no doubt the author determined was humorous.  (I found it humorous anyway.)

The group gels into a team and solves their problem with more action to come.

I enjoyed 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.
