Crumbs! Another Ripping adventure from the worlds best reluctant action hero. Murderbot is a great character, almost the opposite of the Hollywood action hero. More interested in watching media than doing anything he's always getting into thrilling confrontations with corporate bad guys and coming up with outlandish ways to win, or at least not lose.
Probably one of the worst books I've ever read and the worst ST book I've ever read.
This is just cowboys in space, almost all American and indistinguishable from the old western movie cowboys. Apparently Americans haven't changed since those days and still want to shoot you with a rifle and wear big hats etc etc.
Simply awful book I felt and I could only finish it by only reading the conversations.
This is an enjoyable read, but there's roo much flannel. It seems almost every time anyone does a thing they remember all sorts of things, some relevant some not so much. It just drags after a while. It's a great adventure though, but a bit of a disappointment to find you need to read the next one to find out what happened, which I'm afraid I don't think I'll do. Seemed a it too much like hard work at times.
I really quite enjoyed this, but I didn't think it was very star trek like. It has TOS crew in it and the Federation etc, but some of the characters were stereotype characters, I particular the journalist. I also felt it was just the USA in space with a few foreigners thrown in, it's 200 years from now, so as far from us as the American revolution and the characters till behave, talk and have the same interests as today. I'm. It very eloquent I'm afraid but I didn't think this was the future Roddenberry envisaged. Having said all that I did enjoy it.
