review 1: Trader Vyx,I strongly suggest you read the previous book in the series (A Galaxy Unknown, Valor At Vauzlee and Clones of Mawcett) prior to reading this book.I really enjoyed this installment. It was literally full of excitement. The author's creativity and world building were flawless.What the last installment lacked in high voltage action, this installment makes up for in spades! However, it's about time Jen's sisters started to see some ready action.To fellow dark urban fantasy readers who are looking for an SF but are unsure of what to take a chance on; I highly recommend this book and series. The writing style is similar to DUF. I am also impatiently looking forward to the next book Milor! due out 12/15/2010.I also recommend:Song of ScarabaeusSpace Trippers Book 1: Tri... moreppin'Black Magic Sanction (Hollows)Dead, Undead, or Somewhere in BetweenMagic Bites (Kate Daniels, Book 1)
review 2: This is the 4th novel in The Galaxy Unknown series by indie author Thomas DePrima. As with the previous three novels, there is plenty of action/adventure. Jenetta Carver is in the thick of it (in space battles and the Intel sector), winning, as usual, against seemingly impossible odds. Not likely in reality but isn't that the whole point of this style of writing? Jenetta reminds me of Lee Child's or Matthew Reilly's type of hero (heroine?) who, with a few hiccups along the way, always ends up on top. However, instead of winning with superior physical tactics, she wins with her superior IQ! At last a geek actually wins! Other reviews have mentioned that DePrima's writing is a bit simple or unpolished; well maybe it is, but the story itself more than makes up for any such flaws. It drags you in and at the end, leaves you wanting more. Thankfully there are another 3 novels yet to be released with DePrima willing to write more if there is the demand. Mr. DePrima, I suggest you'd better get writing... If the next 3 are as addictive as the ones so far, I won't be the only one clamoring for more. less
