A fun, don't think too much just turn the pages, sf adventure of the type that I quite enjoy once in a while if the characters, writing and universe are interesting.
The book captivated me from the first pages when the clone of deceased shady starship captain Gorman is rudely woken on one of the most civilized planets of the Human Conclave federation, to be announced that as his owner (the original captain) stopped paying the bills to keep the clone on ice (the clone has the last downloaded memories of the captain of a year or two back) and nobody wants to buy him at the asked price (and the owner of the facility never lowers the price even for situations like this to recoup losses), he, the clone (as property with no rights) is marked for immediate disposal; fast-talking an extension of his life to supposedly get to some cash the captain stashed on the planet, the new and improved (younger looking, fitter) William Gorman escapes disposal, kidnaps a naive rich girl (by chance when he was trying to divest the android police and gangsters chasing him as that ensures the authorities won't stop hunting him now, while escaping the shady clone center operator was just a moderate misdemeanor) who is actually thrilled at least temporarily (until she later witnesess some real violence of course) to escape her continual boredom and helps him get away to space; and that's where his adventure starts of course as the hero wants to escape Conclave space, find out what happened with his progenitor and get back into the only career he knows as interstellar smuggler.
And so it goes, while on way the hero stumbles into dark secrets, nasty crab-like aliens who use humans as "animal" symbiotes, while claiming they do this for the "good of humanity" as even worse aliens are on a galactic prowl of conquest and of course, gets the loyalty of other outcasts to form the beginning of a team; not to speak of Rose, the rich girl from the Conclave who decides on returning to her parents and living another few months in deep boredom, that violence, the risks of death and cramped and unpleasant conditions are better after all...
The book ends at a good point and promises much more to come, while I am definitely interested in more

This reminded me a lot of Larson's Undying Mercenaries series, and that's a good thing. It has all the feel and fun of that series, without being hampered by the Claver character -- who I quickly got weary of, but sadly kept showing up as that series progressed. I listened to the audiobook version, performed brilliantly by Mark Boyett. I like these characters, and I'm hoping this develops into a new series. (And hopefully one without a tiresome nemesis character.)

Seems B.V. Larson plagiarised himself. At least when it comes to his characters, our main dudebro bullshits and lies his way across the universe and overcoming everything by simple luck and coincidence. Simpering yet tough women, somehow, who all end up sleeping with our main dudebro. On the other hand, universe and science fiction concepts are a bit more down to earth even though still very soft.

Sadly, not the usual caliber. Very basic world building, one dimensional characters, simple pirate / privateer story, limited humour. Even the big bad is fairly unexciting.
So different from the amazing, massive battles, crazy science, hilarious humour, fun characters and simply wonderful array of aliens we are used to in his other stories.
I will try to next one in the series but not feeling great about this story

No good
I am a fan of most of Larson's work, and I've read every book in the Swarm and Undying legion series. I was hoping for more of the same here, but this didn't deliver. The same snappy writing is there, but for me the core plot just isn't at all compelling. Why is our main character a clone? This has almost no relevance at all to the current book. And why should we care about someone who trades illegal weapons? The answer is that we shouldn't, unless they really are compelling. And this character isn't.
I bought the first two books before even glancing at the first, because I thought it was so likely I'd enjoy them. And that is currently the only reason I'd consider reading the second. This series is great avoided, in my view.

In the best possible way, I think of Larson's books as space trash and I can't get enough. They're running, gunning, bizarre alien, fun. I can sit back, put my brain on autopilot and enjoy the ride. I always listen to these on Audible and Mark Boyett is a dynamite narrator.

Oh my!!
We are all in quarantine and B.V. Larson drops another world with new anti-heroes on us!
A cursed ship? The clone of a rapscallion of man. An alien parasitic race while designs to conquer all? A murder mystery to boot! An ancient race mysteriously wiped out leaving behind advanced weapons.
And of course there are new alien races and robots to contend with!l
A great start to a new space series where humanity will have to fight for its place in the stars!

Basic space adventure, in my opinion very much inferior to the undying mercenaries: uninteresting characters, bland story and universe in cruel lack of consistency.

Not bad! I loved the whole clone thing - and the idea that we are not the people we were 10 years ago because all our cells have new. Interesting.
The action here is great; I love the whole Han-Solo-Mercenary-Charmer thing that Gorman has. He keeps escaping tenuous situations with a sly wink. Good entertainment.
And of course Mark Boyett is fabulous.

For some reason the audible version of this is called Star Runner. There character writing of this wasn't bad but I still didn't really LIKE them. And the actual story and world building seem actually kinda bad. Will probably avoid work by this author in the future as this is far from their first book and their style just isnt for me.

It was really difficult for me to finish this book. I've read a bunch of B.V. Larson this year. His books have a lot of elements I love and a few elements I tolerate. This book emphasized all of the things I don't like about his books and left out the parts I love. The plot was poor, and I hated every single character in it. I will not be reading the rest of this series.

I’ve always like B. V. Larson’s books, especially the “Undying Mercenaries Series”. If you like some humor with your science fiction, that is the series to read. So, I was intrigued by this new offering from a good writer. It doesn’t say that this will be a series, but it could very well turn into one. It’s just up to the author.
Our Hero has died! Yes, right at the onset of this book, we find out that Captain William Gorman was killed under mysterieous circumstances. So, how do we continue a story with the main character. Well, remember, this is science fiction and just about anything can happen, even collecting on old bills that you didn’t pay because you were dead!
Yes, I’m afraid the late Captain William Gorman is going to have a very bad credit rating from here on. You see, he let his monthly payments to the cryo-lab lapse and now is in default. So, as would any business, they are not going to continue using their resources to maintain a frozen body if the monthly payments aren’t made. That’s when William Gorman’s clone wakes up, very cold and very confused. He does eventually realize where he is at and why! That makes him very nervous since the only reason he should have been thawed out was to take one of his body parts that the original Gorman needed! Yeah, that’s what the future is coming to. The clone is nothing but property although this one has all the memories of the original up until the time he died. He doesn’t remember that death, but he knows all about who he’s supposed to be and he doesn’t want to die again. Nobody would, right?
So, given the opportunity and being the very resourceful guy that the original William Gorman was, the clone Gorman manages to take off from the lab and is madly trying to escape to his own future. And that is what this book is all about. How a clone steps in and assumes the identity of the original person, yet he is the original person just grown at a different time and rate. From all appearances, those who worked with Captain William Gorman, a Captain because he owns and commands his own starship, or at least he did, don’t see any difference. Although many of them thought that Gorman had died, they accept this new Gorman just as easily since he does, in fact, act the same as the old one. Well, everyone except the person that killed him and she knows he’s not the same guy.
As the story unfolds, this new Captain Gorman wants to set out for the fringe territory where he once thrived as a gun runner for a certain boss criminal. Little doe this new Gorman know that his former Boss and soon to be boss again, is the very one that ordered him killed! You can see how things are going to get confusing. Well, they do, but not that confusing. I found the story very entertaining with, again, some humor added here and there. Very good writing.
I again, don’t know if this will turn into a series, but it very well could. There are a number of interesting characters and the setting for a lot of new adventures. We’ll just have to wait and see.

Gun Runner was an easy book to get into, which I genuinely appreciated. I have been struggling lately to find stories that hook me early, and this one did that without much effort. The pacing was smooth, and the overall concept kept me interested. I also liked that there is an overarching mystery behind the protagonist’s story that is not fully answered by the end of the book. A lot is left unexplained, but small details are sprinkled throughout, which kept me curious rather than frustrated.
That said, the character work, especially among the crew, felt like the weakest part of the story. Jort started out with a strong impression but quickly lost depth. He went from wanting to kill Gorman to joining his crew and falling into the role of a generic brute henchman. It felt abrupt, and his character never really recovered from that shift. Most of the side characters in the crew felt similarly shallow, more like placeholders than fully realized people.
The female crew members were especially underdeveloped. I do not recall them ever exchanging dialogue, and the implied love triangle felt awkward. Only Rose’s interest in Gorman felt somewhat believable. The repeated references to competition for Gorman’s affection did not land for me, mainly because there did not seem to be a clear reason for either woman to be genuinely interested in him.
Where the book really shined was outside the crew. The interactions with the Sword World characters and the military figures on the planet where the guns were being run were far more engaging. Those sections had better tension, clearer motivations, and stronger character presence overall.
In the end, I enjoyed the story and do not regret reading it, but I think it would have benefited greatly from deeper character development within the main crew. The world and premise are solid, but the supporting cast needed more substance to truly elevate the book.

Hmm, Seems Familiar
I listened to the audiobook version with Mark Boyett doing his usual great job narrating this book. Mark is no stranger to Larson's work; he also narrates the Undying Mercenaries.
Having read and enjoyed many of Larson's Undying Mercenaries series books, I thought I would switch it up and try the Star Runner series. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't enjoy the Undying Mercenaries series, but after nine books, I started to get a bit bored.
I guess Larson wanted to leverage a recipe that worked for him in the past with the new series. The main character, Bill Gorman, is a gun runner who is actually a clone of his original self. He was awakened after rent on his cryo-fridge was unpaid - presumably after the death of the original Bill Gorman. The Bill Gorman character in this book shares many of the same characteristics as the main character, James McGill, from The Undying Mercenaries series. He is a bullshitter who always manages to find a way out of sticky spots and is always lucky with the women. Even his mannerisms and dialogue are similar.
Since Bill is a clone, he is slated for disposal for non-payment. He manages to escape, and he tries to find out the fate of his original. As a gun runner, he makes deals to deliver guns from a hidden and unknown cache of alien weapons. Like Han Solo in Star Wars, he is indebted to various criminals and is always one step ahead of being caught.
Don't expect any really complex plot or the need for heavy thinking. There is plenty of action. If you like the Undying Mercenaries and this type of action science fiction, you will enjoy this book. For me, it didn't really fulfill my original intention to "switch it up a bit" since it was too similar to Undying Mercenaries.

I was super keen to write a review about this book. One would be, that I really like B.V larson's book. Always been a fan of his writing since reading Star force. So when your favorite author writes a new series, undoubtedly keen to read more of his works.
I have to admit this book is different from his main series books, it reminds me of his lost colonies series, because the hero has a different mindset or feel. Slightly, but definitely different in the way he acts or reacts. This is quite evident and something that I quite enjoyed about book. This was shone in the fact that the character is a clone. It's interesting since that's part of a topic in Undying Mercenaries. Anyhow, I'm not too sure he Larson meant to do that, as I know that a lot of his characters or books aren't necessarily about the philosophical side of things but more about space and action. Nevertheless, you couldn't help but feel that the clone of the real guy, sees the world in a bit kinder and he's more fragile which makes an interesting twist to the story because he's a clone. Almost like getting a chance to relive your life and change things.
Back to the book, there's incredible potential for the series, and I hope that Larson does something with this potential. I know he'll write a killer series if he follows on with this series. The premise is very good, but something that I hope out of him as an author is that he'll make a really, damn, stupid good book. Compared to his awesome books that he usually writes.
Looking forward to seeing more of this works for this one.

Good universe but the characters again
I really enjoy this authors books but I'm not much of a reviewer so I usually don't bother. This time however I thought it was worth a comment. This new universe Larson has created is fantastic and quite unique just like all of his other books. But his characters are always the same. McGill, Gorman, Straker and Riggs all have the same sort of personality. Even his foils are the same. There are always multiple love interests that are jealous of each other. Always a rough general or colonel. OK I admit it's a winning formula and I always enjoy his books but I'd like to be suprised at some point. Everything is becoming too predictable.

This was entertaining but not nearly as entertaining for me as the Undying Mercenary series. I like real science fiction and the science was a bit dodgy: a space ship that uses more energy when it gets up to speed faster? You can teleport to another star via gateways, ok. Or you can just make your ship go really fast and it only takes a few weeks to go to another star system?
The Undying Mercenary series has its own minor fake science, but for the most part, he doesn't try to explain it and I can ignore it.
It's not science, it's sciency fantasy.

A solid start to what could become another seriesl Good entertainment!
A clone awakes as the copy of a dead weapons smuggler! Finding his way in a universe he only remembers from his dead prime he fight thieves mercenaries and aliens - often at the same time! With a nebulous enemy encroaching what will happen next?
Larson does a fine job of world building and characterization. Looking forward to the next installment!

Great new Series from BV Larson
First, what a great read. BV Larson is supurb a weaving a story, but most importantly he develops Characters you become quite fond of. Gorman reminds be a bit of James McGill but not so much as to make him a clone... Well he IS a clone but not of James McGill. Really good read and I can see a very interesting series on the horizon. Thanks BV for a seriously good read. I await future exploits.

Book two please
The book threw a strong hint that the Tulk and the Shrade are sworn enemies because the Shrade would go straight for the Tulk when it saw one and the humans were unfortunate to stand in the middle. As usual the sidekicks (in this case it’s Jort and not Marvin) get to put some smile (sometimes smirks) on my face with some interesting plots twists. Next book please.

I really enjoyed this new book from Larson. He is the master of this genre and knows what he's doing! Great story, well told, no lag and lots of action. Get busy brother and publish, doesn't matter what everything you write is great!!

Well-being written but reminds me old man war.
This is a great start to a space opera that reminds me of old man's war. I wish it has more humor and with to it - something akin to BV's other book. Never the less, I'm patient enough to buy the next book to see where this is going.

Star Runner is a good story with interesting characters.
Rather like a space version of a pirate story of the 18th century. Some interesting turns and spills. Generally fun, but not deep.

Good read...
As always a great ride with all the characters and the storyline goes from getting better acquainted with the backstory of these people to what new world that they come from.

So glad to have a new... series?
I smiled when this book popped up for my suggestions. Three days later, and I’m just sad that I can’t binge another one. Would love to see this become a series!

I loved the characters in this book. I think they may be back. The species encountered were also excellent. A nice ending and plot. I read this in about two days, as it was very compelling. Larson is a great writer.

Very entertaining!
BV Larson has another interesting book which hopefully turns into a long series. He introduces very interesting characters, frightful aliens, and mysteries. I am very much interested in reading his next installment.

Has potential
I hate writing reviews, but this was a nice read. Different from undying mercenaries. Less brute strength and more finesse from the main character. Hope B.V. Larson keeps at it!

Don’t Stop Here
It’s not James McGill’s Undying Mercenaries but it’s a start. I want to find out who’s next to join this strange band of misfits, maybe Jort will end up with 1 or 2 women on the crew 😘. To me B. V. Larson is the King of Syfy. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Not as gritty as other series by B.V. Larson, but it was a good change of pace. This felt more like a "Galaxy Quest" than "Star Trek Generations". It had more of a campy feel to it, but it wasn't in a bad way.
