A New Captain. An Untested Crew. Will Fortune Favor the Reckless?
Xerxes "Xerx" Paraska is a champion in the G1 Leagues. Enjoying the sweet life with his wife Neela and trusted crew, he crushes his opponents’ mechanized warriors in stadium after stadium.
But during a shakedown run for his newly bequeathed warship, the Reckless, bad luck strikes. Xerx's slightly dysfunctional found family is faced with a mysterious intruder and potentially deadly hazards of flying an untested vessel.
Will the neophyte captain and his crew survive to fight in the arenas another day or will they succumb to the wild and unforgiving blackness of space?

"I am a 'classic nerd' and hopeless romantic who loves sci-fi and fantasy, and am a prolific writer who has had dreams of authorship since childhood. I sketch perhaps even more prolifically than I write, and have drawings of just about every character my warped imagination has come up with. I hope to continue sharing these ideas, characters, and stories with others for years to come."

My Take:
Between the Devil and the Dark is the first book in the series Wild Space Saga written by Brandon Hill and Terrence Pegasus, and after reading this, let’s just say this is going to be the next big thing.
This is the second book I have read written by the author Brandon Hill, I must point out that he has an eye for detail and has written this novel with perfection.
Over the years I have read many books. Sometimes starting a new book becomes challenging and tricky to understand the backstory or the main characters. Only after the first or few chapters, does it start making sense and the story falls into place. But after reading the Brandon Books, I’m simply amazed at his unique writing skill that hooked me from the prologue itself and made it easy to understand from the very first chapter. Which I find is a rare quality in an author.
This is an adventurous book that is filled with action and mystery, making it a trailer series. Do you like a futuristic fiction novel with missions and beyond-the-imagination space stories? Then this is the perfect book for you that has all the action and adventure you can think of. I also think the authors has started this series with a bang and I can’t wait to read the Future books written by them and what adventure will the next book will bring.
Overall a great start for a Wild Space Saga.
