Ship With No Name: A Galactic Empire Space Opera Adventure

by Sean Kildare

Never trust an AI. They're smart, but they're all crazy.

Rasmus Brick didn't plan for the 11-light year trip to go sideways the moment he woke from stasis, but then, who does?

Deena Parsival just wanted to get away from a planet on the edge of the human realm and start her long journey toward earth.

Neither of them thought a cargo worth a fortune would prove to be so much trouble. Nor did they think the pair of AIs running the ship would try to kill them.

And that was just the beginning.


The Quantum Flux series follows Rasmus Brick and Deena Parsival as they travel between the star systems in the human realm, always on the verge of disaster, always trying to stay a step ahead of their enemies.

Each book is a stand alone adventure, so they can be read in any order.

Book 2 - Piker’s Paradise

4.25 Fun, fast space opera

No space battles so far, but plenty of close up occur in this first book in of a space opera series. It is humorous at time, including a fun twist in the main character. It is violent, and it is low science. Mainly it is a fun ride!

Funny with depth

I was prepared for a maybe fun cartoon adventure but it turned out to be a lot more. It's fun and an adventure but the crew and the beings that they encounter are complicated. The aliens are pretty alien but some of the humans seem even more alien. The book has a sound far future adventure feeling.

The crew is bizarre but underneath it all, there are values and points of view that were surprising. The universe it inhabits has a history, which is a pleasant change and I think that it will get more complicated as the series progresses. This series seems headed toward being very interesting.

I like Space Opera. Smith's Lensman series were among the very first real books I ever read. I love Star Trek and Star Wars. So I think I know a wide range of Space Opera. But this is Space Opera written for children.

There's not a single original idea in the characters or the plot, each of them hackneyed and done a thousand times over. The science is weak, at best, even beyond the low level expected from Space Opera, and the book suffers from a selection of grammar and formatting errors. The only good thing about the book is that it's a very fast read, with chapters of not more than 2-3 pages each, written at about a High School reading level. I was finished with it before I could make up my mind whether to dump it or not.

If you enjoy your Sci Fi with no substance at all, this book is for you. I prefer at least a little meat on mine.

Another Space opera where a shop with a small crew and a "valuable " cargo confronts a long list of disastrous events and ends up the remaining crew of 3 battling the odds to get free from a planet of outcasts and crooks. Readable but not outstanding.

I've given this 5 stars and by the time you've read captured you will realise why.
I would love to see Netflix get hold of this!!
A mixture of Star Trek, Babylon 5, Red Dwarf, it would be sooo much fun!!!!!!

I enjoyed this book. It moved quickly and I enjoyed both the original character descriptions along with the character development throughout the read. I just started the sequel and so far it is reading to my liking as well.
