My Buddy Gave Me a Starship. #2
She Stole My Buddy's Starship
The long-awaited and much begged-for sequel to My Buddy Gave Me a Starship.
Commanding a complex starship is the least of Mitch’s worries.
Using his buddy’s starship to swoop to the rescue of beleaguered outposts or single-handedly blast his way through enemy squadrons is nothing new; Mitch has been doing that for weeks now. But dealing with the reckless—not to mention mutinous—scheme of the woman he trusts is a whole new challenge he hadn’t expected.
Left behind, without his advanced starship, Mitch has to figure out a way to track her down, get his ship back, and confront the impossibly one-sided conflict she’s entangled them in. Oh, and the freedom of an entire planet hangs in the balance.
Can Mitch navigate the dangers of alien technology, atmospheric dogfights, and guerrilla sabotage all while sorting out his place in this far-flung star cluster? Or will a single misstep spell disaster for his intergalactic escapade?
If you enjoy humorous “Found Spaceship” adventures with a side of witty romantic tension, then you’ll love She Stole My Buddy’s Starship.

Since I read the first book in the series, My Buddy Gave Me A Starship, just over a year ago, I have been eagerly awaiting a continuation of the adventures of Mitch aboard the starship Starfire. Well, I'm not disappointed with the second installment of this saga in any way. She Stole My Buddy's Starship continues the fun as Mitch gets way more than he bargained for in both good and bad ways.
Once again, Myles has written another book that is exciting, intense, and just plain fun to read. The characters have a wit a light year long, and the tale is full of twists and turns couched in non-stop action and hilarity. As with the first book, I loved the dialog.
Science Fiction fans who enjoy the lighter side of the genre should appreciate this series, and once one gets to know the characters in the first book, can expect satisfaction with the reading of the second book in the series.
In the first installment of the story, Mitch, a man down on his luck, loses his job and meets his long-time friend, Gabe, in a diner as Mitch tries to drown his sorrows in a large bowl of ice cream. Gabe invites Mitch to his place for a visit where Gabe has a starship hidden in his barn. It isn't long before another starship lands on Gabe's property and uniform-clad soldiers attempt to take the ship away. They kill Gabe, and Mitch gets away thanks to the help of an artificially intelligent copy of Gabe's deceased wife, Tera.
Tera takes Gabe to a place where a beautiful alien female named Vrynn awaits a delivery. She joins Mitch, Tera, an android copy of Gabe, and a bear-sized animal that behaves like a puppy.
Later, they run into a ruthless alien named Gralik who very much wants the Starfire for himself.
In this book; as the Starfire sits in a hangar on an out of the way world, Vrynn tricks Mitch into giving her access to all ship operations. They seem to have fallen for each other, at least a little. While Mitch is sleeping, Vrynn apparently betrays Mitch's trust and takes the Starfire to continue her quest on her own. Mitch takes a clunky, old shuttle and goes seeking Vrynn.
After that, well, Mitch finds himself in a desperate battle for the freedom of an entire planet!
And at the bottom of the whole thing is Gralik, who still obsesses over the Starfire, and will stop at nothing to possess it.
In this continuation of the story, Mitch proves himself to be quite resourceful and a good commander of the Starfire. A lot of that is because of the personalities he surrounds himself with. Vrynn is thoughtful, but she is also a brave fighter for freedom. Even though Tera and Gabe are computers, they support Mitch and Vrynn well and behave more as humans. What the biologicals are trying to accomplish would not even be possible without their intelligence. As the story moves forward, we meet a number of other characters, all of them endearing in one way or another. That is, except for Gralik. The more we learn about him, the more villainous he is. All are excellently written, and Myles has written brilliant dialog for them to give them depth of character and bring them to life.
I have to be careful with my favorite plot point. Yes, Vrynn steals the Starfire, but sometimes people do the right thing for the wrong reason. My takeaway from this tale is that appearances can be deceiving. I'm being cryptic here to avoid spoilers. To discover what I'm talking about, you're just going to have to read the book.
The theme that stands out most for me is to show how perseverance and intelligence plays a large part in the success or failure of the achievement of a goal. Everyone in the book has their own agenda. Some of those are compatible with others, but teamwork will give one an edge toward success. Another theme shows how obsession can also lead one to stumble and lose what they have gained as their focus shifts.
She Stole My Buddy's Starship is an excellent sequel to My Buddy Gave Me A Starship. The tone of the story is on the lighter side, making it another fun read. The characters are excellent; the dialog is top-notch, and the story flows, making it another page-turner. Once one picks it up, one will not want to put it down. I recommend this story to space opera fans and those who might enjoy watching a budding romance continue to grow.

A really fun book to read! No boredom allowed!
The book is full of surprises, interesting characters, fun and desperate situations, interesting uses of various transportation methods, from starships with quake drives to ground vehicles! It maintains a high level of action and just the right amount of romance (which is very little but cute). I definitely recommend reading this book and hope there is a sequel to this book AND SOON!

Excellent
Someone once said "a good book is one that you can't wait until it's done... And then when it is you don't want it to be"... well, this is one that I was glad when it was finally done. But I gave it 5 stars to honor the work that was put in to write it.

Stealing hope
To try to get her home planet out from under a tyrants rule, the first mate took the best Star ship around without asking the owner and pilot for his input. Now she is involved in a war with the so-called appointed governor. Will she get help? Good Read.

Feel good,,space opera.
Predictable , but feel good, book. I like to read without dodging harsh language, or twisted characters, and this author understands that sentiment. I look forward to more books from Myles Christensen, and I will read them!

this is great
These set of books have been great and follow the story of the Starfire starship. Which takes on unbelievable odds and eventually wins, thanks to Miles for his writing and putting together these fantabulous stories..
Well worth reading.

they were all
All the books in this series were written with a continuity not often seen in a series. They all held me spellbound and totally anticipating the next and the next.
Well done Myles

The bad guy headed to 'dirt'?
Good story just a little bit predictable here and there. So is the bad guy headed to earth to piss Mitch off. We'll see.....

Well worth your time to order and read. You’ll become attached to some characters and loath others, and enjoy the story.
