The characters, one of the best parts in my opinion, were really well done and creative, and would be entertaining in probably any setting." "Great Book! Three words: Lighthearted space Fargo""This book was a lot of fun. Its a bit Joss Whedon crossed with Guy Ritchie. Definitely plenty of adventure and action in the stars, but with quirky characters and satire mixed in.""A great read, with a twisty plot and enjoyable characters.""Read “The Z Team”. You won’t regret it.""A Suspenseful (and Humorous) Space Adventure""The characters are so well drawn, they are going to stay with you long after you finish the book.
