Of Donkeys, Dogs, and Rogue Bits: The Nose of Truth

Starship Ass #2

by Ethan Freckleton, J.R. Frontera

The Federation has a new secret weapon.

The mission, should Captain Cass and her intrepid crew of space pirates accept it? Infiltrate the Federation Navy flagship and extract the secret weapon.

Meanwhile, Harold's donkey host is ailing, which means he's on the outside-looking-in. As unlikely as it may seem, he's managed to help them through some of their biggest hurdles. How will they possibly manage without him on this, their most dangerous adventure to date?

About the author

Whether I’m writing self-help books, songs, or absurdist low-brow comedies, my works embody the authentic and sometimes irreverent perspectives of a person who has tried to live in two worlds at once: one of professional and technical excellence, and another of romantic abandon, in search of a world that values love over fear.

“A galaxy without secrets is a galaxy at peace.”
I loved the funny, absurd, ridiculous and impossible situations the team gets into! It’s refreshing, sweet, emotive and hilarious. Lots of action too, and fast paced. A perfect read after others more hardcore SciFi books! So nice to have another add to the already ragtag team! I hope Harry’s problem resolves in the next installment, which I’m already impatient to read!
I received a complimentary copy from the publisher and my review is entirely voluntary.

This had me laughing out loud quite a bit and I devoured it in one sitting. Ethan Freckleton and JR Frontera did an amazing job once again with this humorous action packed space pirate adventure. I was drawn in from page one until the last page and eagerly await book 3.
I highly recommend this series!!

Oh, this is just brilliant! There is so much doom and gloom in the world right now, that reading this series is a highlight of my life, as it makes me laugh. Out loud sometimes, which is a bit of a shock for my husband. And trying to explain this book to him or you isn't so easy, but there are space pirates, talking donkeys, a lot of insubordination and a load of laughs. Really, you have to try it. Best to start with the first of the series, before this, but it would be funny anyway.

Book 2 of this series starts out making me laugh and kept me laughing up to the end. I loved the characters and the crazy situations they all end up falling into. I do admit I love Hawke and find his thought process amazing. He starts out book 2 with his insanity and the rest of the story just gets better and better. I loved the action, the characters and of course the pirates. I love reading how my favorite pirate crew end up where they do and how they end up solving the mess that always seems to happen. (Read book 1 to see what I am talking about). I ended up laughing through the whole book when I was not groaning. Just a great story to read if you like adventure and the underdogs winning. I totally recommend this series. I loved it!

I haven’t laughed this hard all year…

Our amazing ass has done it again, got into more trouble than he knows what to do with… In this second book everything and everyone fro last time are in place and in character. Madness, mayhems and action and lots of humor. Wordplay is standard fair. Go ahead you deserve the laughs.

Harry and Pirates are given a mission by the head of the Pirates; and they must get captured by the Federation to complete it... can they succeed - or just survive.

Harry is still struggling with his injury, but he battles through the adversity.

More of the fun pulp fiction of a Donkey Space Pirate! Its a great little read, characters are well developed and good editing.

Harry Ass. Lol, didn't really think much about it.

I love the character Zuckberg, I was never disappointed with any scene that featured him. I wasn't really sure where else the story could go, but I was not disappointed. Let's go book 3!

Each book is more fun than the last

This is a great series so far. Each book is better than the last. I am enjoying the cultural references and the humor. The characters are fun and I hope node eventually gets what it wants. I recommend this book and series.

SPOILER!!!!!!! Did they really kill the dog? I do plan on reading the last installment, if I find out he's okay I will update my review.

A fun second adventure

Even with its various derivative bits, this is an entertaining, amusing, lighthearted, overall fun sci-fi story worth your time to read.
