The Journeys of McGill Feighan #4

by Kevin O'Donnell Jr.

The final volume of The Journeys of McGill Feighan, an award-winning space opera series by Kevin O'Donnell Jr. It was supposed to be a fun weekend on Rehma, a planet of nestlings and birdsong. Instead, McGill Feighan encounters a mutant virus and repeated assaults by galactic goons who have wanted him dead since he was four days old. And McGill isn’t any closer to finding the Far Being. So he sets out with the assistance of the crimson-crested Dr. Th’hweet to put things right on Rehma. It’s going to take an alien wing and a prayer…

I didn't realize this was the fourth in a series until I already started reading it, and was surprised that I could actually keep up with what was going on. It's not perfect my any means, but it was so fun to read a sci Fi that is actually fun and exciting and doesn't read like a textbook with missing pages.
The characters are memorable and the plot is interesting. It's a very comfy read, and exactly what I needed. :)

He did such a fairly decent job of avoiding the 'Science' in his Fiction, that I was really surprised to read his reference to CRTs.
I'm saddened he never added to this series, but it ends well, and was an enjoyable re-read.

I adore Sam and Walking Mule. Getting tired of the Organization's machinations and deaths as a result. Bird world, nasty villains, happy ending. I am afraid I didn't give this series the attention it deserved this time around...too much distraction and interruption.
