ROGUE STAR Firestar Saga, Book 2

Flynn’s Firestar series, first published in the late 1990s and set in the near future, chronicles humans’ return to space through corporate enterprise. Here government is the villain. Flynn’s muscular dialogue and hardware-based plots remind one of the science fiction of half-a- century ago—although he does make an effort to include strong female characters. Malcolm Hillgartner’s punchy masculine delivery perfectly suits the story. His pacing is consistent and easy to follow, and he remains engaged and energetic even when Flynn digresses. Further, he’s skilled at giving Flynn's characters depth and personality. A good escape. F.C. © AudioFile 2013, Portland, Maine [Published: JUNE 2013]
