Better than I expected
I didn’t know what to expect based on the reviews I read. So when I finally read it I have to say I enjoyed it. It was pretty good. Great even. I thought it was well written, had witty dialogue between the characters. Great action and interesting characters as the main focus. Speaking of characters Trevor’s kind’ve an ass. While he does show signs of progression he can be a douche at times though not enough to put the book down as I still saw he had a heart and I wanted to see him pull through.
I hope the sequel comes out soon because I would like to see him interact more with Orla, Honey Bee and get revenge on Favian Grith. The possibilities are endless with this potential series. With that being said I’d say check it out. Among many things it’s a blast.

Okay story ( at 50% I stopped)
As I stopped half way please take that into account on my review. So first the book starts with the mc about to steal a ship, no back story on how the mc got to this point. Then we find out that his race or group is being hunted by the rulers in power, but again no back story. The book also says that the MC escaped from this group but again no back story just some vague reference. Without a backstory on the MC I just couldn't get into the story or feel like I should care about the MC at all.

Well, Well, Well
Looks like Mr Jacob's has just written another great great book. Trevor Onyx is an interesting anti hero that I hope to learn more about. A very self serving MC but not in a bad way. He know's what he wants and takes it. I'm am very much looking forward to more stories involving this character and hope this ends up being a long running seri6. Keep up the good work.

Fun, Enjoyable start!
Spaceships to steal, bar brawls to get involved in and a a whole heap of trouble.
Interesting start to an amusing and interesting series.
Only complaint is around the jumbled mess of events the character gets himself involved with that felt a bit like padding to extend the novel.
Learning about Trevor's past and how the deal turned out at the end draws me back in though.
So would like to see more!

Awesome
Another great addition to the collection from Jacobs. It's a story with the MC being a capable and actual badass version of another 2 sci-fi heroes. Plenty of action and development, done in an engaging way so that you aren't bored partway through. Definitely looking forward to the next book in the series.

Whee what a ride!
Not usually one for sci-fi, trusting in one of my favorite authors to bring about a fun story was like the races he describes on the pages within. The smooth criminal that goes by his own code is suddenly the good guy, and Han Solo would have been proud.

Criminal good time
This was a great story, with a truly lovable and daring MC. If you are looking for a new sci-fi read that will keep you entertained till the last page i recommend this book!

Bad
Definitely the worst Logan Jacobs book I've tried to read up to now. I do not know what he tried 2ith this story but he definitely missed the mark. Boring, repetitive action, etc. Not a series I will try to follow in future.

Beginning of a great space opera
This books reminded me of what I had hoped the movie solo would have been. Sexy rouge in space stealing from everyone, getting the girl and acting brazen and crazy the whole time. Can’t wait for the next installment.

Great first book
It's always a good sign of a strong author when the first book of a new series is a great read. Full of action, strong characters, wit, and just an overall good time. Let's see what book 2 brings

Another Star Wars type
Even though this story is almost parallels A New Hope, it has a few interesting twists. Maybe more of The Empire Strikes Back. I still enjoyed the book and look forward to the next in the series.

Fun and amusing!
I was about half way through the book when I realized that the author was subtly making fun of the tropes used in the star wars films. That made the book even more amusing. It's going to be interesting to see where Trevor goes to next.

Great character
I love the fact that ship and the owner it was stolen from was a bizarro hang solo. Look forward to the next.

Interesting space fantasy
Unusal ,interesting and spellbinding. Just when you think it's over another twist to the tale. It maybe Ftb but it wasn't without humour too

Good beginning
I like the fast pace of this book, it doesn't linger to long in one scenario and I gotta say, there is just enough Intimate and saucy scenes in here that I like.
