Mercenary: Fast Paced and Entertaining

Rob H. Bedford posts his review of Mike Resnicks's Starship: Mercenaryover on SFFWorld. He writes: "Mercenary follows quickly on the heels of the previous novel (Starship: Pirate),with the same interesting mix of alien characters, not the least of which are the eccentric and humorous David Copperfield and the Space Pirate Queen Val. While the novel is fast paced and entertaining, Copperfield’s character adds a great deal of humor and comedic relief to the story and grows into more than strictly comic relief by the novel’s end.... So the bottom line is this: if you’ve enjoyed the first two Starship novels, there is no reason not to continue on with the story."
