Joseph J Madden and 1 other person liked Chris's review of The Starhawk Chronicles: "The book was a fun easy, read. Pure space cowboy adventure in the spirit of Firefly. Props to the author for the "William Rogers" reference...that made me like the book even more and I'll definitely read others books from him."
