Book Review: One of Our Spaceships is Missing by Chris Gerrib

 


   FBI agent Ray Volk has been tasked to look into the disappearance of a interplanetary passenger liner with 500 people on board. What started as a cut and dry depressurization case seems there is more to be found with the help of a cute Martian. There is a possibility of a hijacking and without communication from those onboard there may be no hope of rescue. 

    I received a copy a this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. This book was suggested to me as an LGBT book and trust me it definitely lives up to that. I honestly don't believe there was one completely straight character in the entire book. Nothing wrong with that, just wasn't what I was expecting necessarily. Just giving you a heads up. 

    On to the book itself. While the blurb of the actual book leaves the question as to what happened to the ValuCardinal you will know within the first three chapters, not all of the details, of course because where would the fun be in that, but enough to know what happened. 

    The characters are all well rounded. The teenagers have problems with authority. The military defaults to training even if they've never seen combat. Grudges are held on sides of an old war. All kinds of things that you'd see in normal life as well. 

    The descriptions in the book are also great. There is enough detail where you can picture what is going on without it taking a page to describe a single scene. There also wasn't much in the way of typos which is always a plus. Indie author books have a tendency to be hit or miss in that regard and I'm always happy to receive an edited book. 

    This book is available on Kindle Unlimited or buy it for $4.99 by clicking here
