Description

In this debut space epic, a crew of thieves and con artists take on a job that could pay off a lot of debts in a corrupt galaxy where life is cheap and criminals are the best people in it.

The Keiko is a ship of smugglers, soldiers of fortune, and adventurers travelling Earth’s colony planets searching for the next job. And they never talk about their past—until now.

Captain Ichabod Drift is being blackmailed. He has to deliver a special cargo to Earth, and no one can know they’re there. It’s what they call a dark run…And it may be their last.

    I gave this 4 stars because I couldn’t give it 3 and a half. For the Browncoats out there (like me), you will feel right at home. The Cap’n has his tighpants moments, and his YoSafBrig moments, his 2nd in command is a warrior woman, he’s got an innocent female crewmember, and there’s a mercenary crew member. Oh, and there’s Chinese dialogue occasionally. As a read it’s not a page turner, but it’s steady and engaging, again especailly for Browncoats. But be warned Browncoats, there is no Whedenesque dialogue in this. Still, you’ll be able to identify with the ‘Verse.

    What do bad cliches and telegraphs have in common? The book "Dark Run."
