Another great entry in the series. Nice to see some familiar faces and nice to not have the fate of the galaxy on their shoulders. Hoping for more of this.

Science fiction, meets adventure, and a bit of romance. It does mention the Vietnam war.

The naming of the main character is inconsistent. It does include a little bit of humour which is nice.

Sometimes it's the right people, at the right place, at the right time (with the help of some magical people).

There are times in the book where it skips ahead a period of time without telling the reader which is sometimes confusing and requires the reader to pause for a moment before continuing.

"Yes. You humans have such a whimsical history," she said.

""You might want to step out for this," Stern warned. AJ bit back a response about not being able to step anywhere."

""You really get off on changing your appearance, don't you?"
"I have spent decades pasted to the side of space debris. I find humanity's expression of individuality quite refreshing. Surely, you wouldn't deny me a small pleasure?""

“No one said English was easy to understand.”

"Did you ever read Alice in Wonderland?"
Darnell quirked his head to the side.
“Buddy, Alice was strictly amateur hour.”"

This is a solid 3 star story for which it gains an extra star simply because he avoids a lot of the more common mistakes I have frequently seen in this genre recently ... making this a quick and fun read. But that only gets you so far in this long running series. The author injects a lot of detail into the story, and while this can be a drag on the pacing, he gets it close enough that I feel a bit nostalgic for the times I was the ship's a-gang boss (so you get the extra star for free here). Unfortunately, the story doesn't scale up very well ... for example ... flying a small smuggler class vessel a little short handed is easy to accept ... flying a battle cruiser at 10% manpower considerably less so. Perhaps the author has some unconscious awareness of this as he 'restarts' the heroes back at the beginning several times during the series and manages to get the reader invested enough to finish it out. Frankly if this series were not a kindle unlimited option, I doubt that I would have finished; however, within that selection of books, this series is one of the better ones I have found ... so on that score, I would recommend it.… (lisätietoja)

McFarlane, Jamie. Junkyard Pirate. Junkyard Pirate No. 1. Fickle Dragon, 2019.
Junkyard Pirate ticks off some items on my fun-to-read list—a near-future world that doesn’t stray far from our own, two or three lively characters who talk to each other in a nonliterary way, and a science fiction premise that only makes me scratch my head a little. The protagonist, Al Jenkins, a well-over-the-hill Vietnam vet with a pot belly and a taste for booze, runs a low-profit junkyard. One night, his spine is crushed when a bunch of rocket casings fall on him, but his life is saved when his body is invaded by a symbiotic alien looking for a host to help her get off planet. It is a premise I have seen before, sometimes done better, often done worse. Three and a half stars rounded up.… (lisätietoja)
