Interesting premise: rejects cons, and other degenerates (of many alien species) are brought together to test experimental ships, to break the “legal” shipping cartel.
Unfortunately, the writing is told from a distant lens – the action is described (as are detailed physical descriptions and backstories of characters). Doesn’t feel like an adventure story, but a narration describing a story.

This ended before I expected it. I had no idea I was so close to the end until "Epilogue" popped up. Which isn't as bad as ending right in the middle of the action, the way so many installments of series do nowadays, but it was close.
Still, the story was interesting, though Ms. Cutter needs a better editor. The constant typos, missing or mis-used words and grammatical errors were a distraction throughout the book. The story and the characters, even the "smart systems", are interesting enough, though, to leave me interested in the next one.

Went looking to buy more by this author, but struggled to find much in the UK, and pretty much only via amazon.
