Space Pulp!: Plight of the Blood Slaves
When you’re a rocket ship captain, you learn to expect the unexpected.
A routine charting mission can turn into the discovery of a sentient wormhole. A Hedgmonian diplomat may possess your first officer and then try to assassinate you. The Queen of Ridgimon IX may take you as her concubine and impregnate you with her seed.
But still … when you’re suddenly ordered to the fleet admiral’s office twenty-four hours before you’re due to punch, it’s enough to give even the most seasoned captain pause. The Federacy doesn’t make hasty decisions, but they do give orders with little to no warning. Orders that can turn your life upside down, back to front, or—literally—inside out.
My name is Patrick Starson. I used to be a rocket ship captain. And this is my story.

Mr. Paris has created a gem of a book in "Space Pulp!" I rarely stray from the comfortable parameters of realistic fiction, and yet, this book's "Plight of the Blood Slaves" is descriptive in a way that many novels inside the realistic genre are not. From hero-Patrick Starson to villain-Bar'took, this action-packed effort has it all. There's a lot of heart in the writing, and it shows in the concern the author has for his characters. The relationships feel real. There is a tangible component almost in the history between Starson and Livy. But, I've said too much. Read it for yourself and enjoy! This novel(la) is Part I of a series that I hope continues for many moons. (There's a mentioning of Part II listed at the book's end.) This is a great delivery on what promises to be another fantastic series (also, check out "Superheroes in Prose") by Paris!

This story kicks off a new series with colorful characters, a secret mission and huge surprises. I’m really looking forward to seeing where this story goes.

Re-read in Dec 2025 and I'm reminded of how much I love Sevan's writing. Really creative characters, super clever plots and some of the wittiest writing. I think he's one of the most underrated authors out there.
