What a scare! Nobody touches Maximus, please! My favourite character, the pig-dog and Mast the alien Unglok! Frightening turns and the mystery about Maximus and his world. Wonderfully realistic and fast paced, as always a fantastic read!

Maximus is having a bad time.
Not only has he been chased across the Galaxy by Zane VoidHunter, who is determined to kill him, and take the Heartstone that he's been carrying in his second stomach, since before he left Glakridoz, his planet of birth, but he's also having to try to explain things to his Human, Sheriff Thaddeus Fry, and his Unglok, Deputy Mast Jotham.
Thad sort-of understands him, but not enough to hurry, in order to save his ex wife, and the Terror Corp Troopers that VoidHunter had tricked into his booby-trapped ship.
Life was hard for a Glakridoz trying to kill the crazy Human that blamed his kind for their deaths on his very tough planet, but Maximus was determined to stop him, no matter what it might take.
I loved this story, and hope that I'll learn much more about Maximus, and his kind, with the next one!

Maximus rules...
in this episode, anyway.
Another great read from Moon and Martelle!
Of course, when you put a cop and a (former [ha, no such thing!]) Marine with incredible storytelling abilities together, you get some Good Guys who know justice and use law to obtain it.
Open talks with Josh Whedon for a TV series. Please?
Looking forward to the 2-parter...::mumble:: freakin' cliff-hanger endings and waiting....

Good read
I have enjoyed this series so far. It’s like Matt Dillon meets Buck Rodgers in the twenty fifth century. A lone sheriff in a mining boom town deals with aliens, criminals, criminal aliens, and prostitutes who want to show him a good time. Well written and funny.

Episode 10 from Darklanding and this time Maximus takes centre stage, as a hunter is looking for him. Again another good book with the main characters now firmly established.
