Spacer: A Star Spanning Space Opera Science Fiction Saga
SPACER
Dive into a fresh, lively, and welcome space opera adventure from the author of JOVE
In a galaxy dominated and owned by a tyrannical corporate dystopia, all is not lost. A flicker of freedom still exists on the lawless fringes of that sprawling totalitarian hegemony.
Collecting space debris for profit is a hardscrabble life choice, and Alto Straker, spacer captain of the fringe-running salvage spaceship ‘Scavenger’, is living a precarious existence amongst outlawed aliens. So, when he and his big green alien crew of one are offered a chance to pick up some extra funds, they grab at it.
Giving a short planet-hopping ride to a beautiful, fiercely capable human female fleeing powerful forces seems like an easy payday. It’s not.
The spacer and his first-mate become entangled in a tumultuous conflict they did not sign up chaos and obliteration at every turn, the Galaxy’s ultimate death-dealing war machine in hot pursuit, and, if that wasn’t bad enough, an inappropriate romance.
To top it all, the fate of the entire galaxy gets dropped squarely into their laps.
Go figure...

SPACER is a smart, well-constructed space opera thriller. Chock full of engaging characters, the pacing is relentless, the action immersive, and the climactic ending entirely satisfying.
Not a book you'll want to put down.

SPACER by Stephen Pratt is fantastic. I found myself utterly engrossed in this book, its wonderfully vivid characters and explosive action.
In a Galaxy where money and power is all and a corporate hegemony reigns supreme a trio of unlikely heroes are thrust into a struggle for the fate of all sentient life. A scavenging human Spacer, a big green telepath and a heart-stoppingly beautiful woman become the Galaxy's only hope for freedom.
Brimming with high stakes action, adventure and mystery the reader is plunged into a starscape filled with diverse cultures, heart-pounding battles, and captivating characters.
Spacer is a smart, well-constructed space opera that will keep you breathlessly turning pages.

Good sci fi adventure
The worldbuilding is darkly imaginative, and the story is filled with unexpected twists, violence, a high body count, and a bittersweet ending. I didn't like Straker until nearly the end of the book. Yatbag is interesting and likeable. The darkness of this universe meets hope at the end.
