Pirates: The Orgone Chronicles, Book Two
The Orgone Chronicles continues... After their adventures in "SCOUTS" [Book One of The Orgone Chronicles, and 2011 EPIC eBook Award Finalist] - Challers and Valka are safe, protected aboard the Pirate city-ship known as "Port." The scars of their ordeal among the Scouts remain, however. Valka is stuck with a hyper-fertile Ovor body, and the only way for them to raise enough money to change her back, is for them to join the Worthies-reality-TV celebrities who are always on camera. In an environment where loyalty is dismissed and betrayal is rewarded, their love suffers its greatest test yet. Meanwhile, on Stakroya Station, their classmate Renedy wrestles with a budding sexuality that does not fit the station's rigid mold. An intimate night with the man who has been chosen for her does not go well at all. Instead she finds herself attracted to another woman; a relationship the Station can never condone. Through it all, the sinister eyes of the Scouts see all. Freedom, for all involved, must be won again and again.

Sometimes starting a trilogy in the middle can be a little confusing, with this book this wasn't the case.
The world was explained well without distracting from the story. The book had different points of view and was was easy to follow even when switching from different areas as well as viewpoints. After the end of each chapter it kept you wanting more, infact I can't wait for the next book to see what happens next!
Definitely will be purchasing the first book, and I highly recommend them for readers who like this genre.

There's that thing that sometimes happens where the middle book of a trilogy is boring, but this one is even better than the first one. I love the new characters and the familiar ones, there's more hot sex and tense action, and Pirate society is fascinating. I highly recommend
Scouts
and Pirates together, and can't wait for book three, Hunters!

First off, I'm going to try to avoid spoilers - reviews that summarise the book annoy me!
I thought the book was well written - it's nice to find something grammatically and eloquently written.
I liked the size - larger than the standard paperback up with which I grew (LOL). I was less emamoured of the typeface, but that's a really personal thing! Oh! the paper - really nice - soft and strong and far enough off-white and matt enough to avoid glare.
The basis of the story is good, but I found the plot moved very slowly through the book - much of the book was taken up with descriptions of the couplings that happen frequently as this provides power in this universe. Had I read the first book in the series, Scouts, I might have understood this physical (in both sense of the word) law before finding the first such scene on, appropriately, page sechs. I found the descriptions a tad mechanical and not especially...umm...exciting. Having said that, it was gratifying to find that satisfaction for the female characters was most important!
The central characters are quite well drawn, although some of the supporting characters are less so (but maybe they'll come to the fore in later books). At the end of the book, I wanted to know what happened next (there is a third book - Hunters) but felt that too little had happened in this book - it felt like an installment rather than a complete book even after 238 pages.
All in all an entertaining 6 or so hours and a series I would have been very enthusiastic about when I discovered sci fi at 13/14 (I'm a fair bit older than that now!). Quality work.
