Fetch!: Trunk Line Book 2 - There's nothing sad about these puppies...
Finder retrieves things, in fact, even by the standards of the Kind, he's a genius at it... that the things may not actually be lost to start with is an interesting consideration that he prefers to leave up to others, ideally from some distance - maybe several light-years - to decide. However, when he and his crew find an alien wreck they kick off a chain of events that could restart an ancient war.
Elsewhere, Tim Symbles and the crew of the haunted freighter Astra are having some downtime, but when they're made an offer they can't refuse they become embroiled in a plot that takes them to the Liberty Cluster. A backwater of the galaxy where life is cheap, but toilet paper isn't.
Lurking there, in the dark, is an ancient secret and a crazed priesthood of freedom lovers looking for revenge.
Comedy SF in the vein of Harry Harrison, Red Dwarf, and Discworld.
"Like a truly funny Iain M Banks"

About the author
Dave O'Neill
3 books11 followersDave O’Neill has been an aerospace engineer, a marine engineer and, for a smelly and depressing summer, a project engineer working in paper recycling. He then moved into IT and sales and decided that sitting behind a desk and traveling between virtually indistinguishable large chain hotels while racking up the airmiles and waistline was somehow more fun.
He writes because the universe is currently too depressing and as a veteran of the great flame wars of the 1990s he’s bored of the internet and tired of explaining to people there why they are wrong.
He lives in Seattle, WA where he moved to for the weather.

Sympathetic characters, action, intrigue and humor in a mix worthy of Harry Harrison. Many smart pokes at places, ideas and whole species, and a fun read to boot. Top job. Looking forward to the next one.

Very Funny!
I loved this book! It is very Terry Pratchett! The Captain reminds me strongly of Sam Vimes. I enjoyed the Trunk Line a lot, too, but the last line of this one cinched it! I can't wait for Clueless (or whatever it ends up being called) to be available!

A Cats' Meow!!
A fun and engaging read. Dry wit and an honest look at human nature. It is worth the read, I just wish the author would use a 'proof reader' instead of "spell check".

I thought this book took a while to get going, but once the plot kicks off (about 50 pages in or so) I thought it was good!
