Space Kat

by John Cosper

A mother will always protect her cubs... even in space. A distress signal from the far reaches of space falls on deaf ears as a ship drifts helplessly into enemy territory. The only hope for the starship Andromeda and her crew lies with a hapless trader, his crew, and one angry mom. When Kat, a notorious bounty hunter with a dark past, learns that her daughter is in danger, she hitches a ride into space with Tobias Skull, a man with a price on his head and a rebellious son of his own. But her hopes for a swift rescue are curbed by an ex-boyfriend, a sleazy alien crime lord, and the crate in Tobias's cargo hold with a secret of its own. A slam-bang space adventure in the tradition of the Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers movie serials, Space Kat will rocket you half way across the galaxy on a journey filled with alien gangsters, deadly beasts, space armadas, and a little twisted romance. When Momma gets mad, nothing will stop her from saving her baby - even in space!

Reviews

[Misterg · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's not a bad book. Once you get going it rambles along like a typical space opera. There is a major spoiler twist in the tale, but not the sort of deal breaker that some think they should be.

A quick read with little brain stretching required.
