a number of inconsistencies in the story line upsetting the overall flow, but a fun read.

Top Notch Science Fiction!

Wherever the Mathesons go, trouble is close behind...
In the first book, we were introduced to what "Arbitrators" are. In this book, the Mathesons get introduced to some of the realities that go with that title.
Of course, they continue to accomplish impossible deeds in the face of overwhelming odds, mostly with humor intact.
I'm already looking forward to the third book in the series.

Family ties.....
The story carried you along, as you learned that the family had personality. Easy to grab hold of the different strengths and challenges of the characters. Very enjoyable read. Looking to continue the series.

A Good Read
Firstly, my personal pet peeve has not appeared in this series. Thankfully the author, or editor, knows how to spell whoa correctly.
The characters are well defined, interesting and intelligent. Even the aliens are different enough, yet sort of humanistic. The action is non stop. I agree with Wyatt that they need some down time.
Just a few things that pinged my radar in a minor way. The family talks in terms of meters. Yet they are from the US where, contrary to intelligence, we speak in terms of inches, feet, and miles. I would also appreciate a little information on how, from book one, did the family buy anything when they probably had very little cash on them and dollars would not be accepted as currency. Also, how do they never run out of fuel? Why does everyone speak English? Where do they get food and water? What does the dog eat? Does it defecate all over the ship? How does Vera know so much, but doesn’t read two extra bio signs on the ship for so long?
None of those things bother me overly much. Proof is that it is 2:45 am and I stayed up to finish this book and write this review. Ready to start the next, and currently last, book in the series tomorrow morning.

Book 2
I love when someone new is added to the story. It makes me wonder how they will contribute to the whole story and how they will interact with each of the other members of the story.
I enjoyed all of this book and the ending makes me want to read book 3.
You won't be disappointed by reading this series.

Excellent
And yes, I bought the next one in the series. It's a lot of silliness with only a little blood and guts/death and destruction... And its been a scanner all the way, which usually turns me off, but in this case I can scan, pick up the story, get to the point and move on from there. 🙂

The Mathesons Save the day!
Another ripping adventure among the stars. I like the progression and skills that grow among the family members and their new crew. They consider the consequences of their actions and know sometimes that the worst must happen to mark change and improve.
Interesting and imaginative characters and plots, fun rewards.

The second in the series, and it can only get better from here.
I do like the way they're building up the new Arbitrators base, though. The way they're doing it makes sense.
And I'm really intrigued by the ending. Nice cliffhanger, guys!

Not up to JN Chaney's standards
I found this book to be not. The dialogue seemed forced, the characters didn't come alive. The whole thi g felt forced. Not at all like Van and compny who feel real.

Family of hope
This ragtag family is touching more and more for good and hope. A remarkable tale. The writing is excellent and the characters endearing. There are also memorable quotes the bear remembering. Love this series.

Well. I really like the series!
This author is a very good breath of fresh air. New ideas abound in his writings sala Given and even Asimov.

interseting story, well written and kept my interest engaged. Sci-fi with some Little House-Prairie overtones. New land and new concepts.
