middle of the road series, not great but not bad eitherI found it interesting to read the author’s note, specifically for this episode of the series. He made the comment that you need conflict and resolution to push a story forward. I completely agree. The problem is his idea of conflict is to put a small problem in front of a character and then have that problematic issue fail, but because it failed it then helped out further down the line. That isn’t great story telling. It’s juvenile at best and boring to the reader. Though maybe that is the base of readers he is going for.There are fun things in the books. This book started a new arc in the series, about getting into space. It is a quick and fast read, which since the author pops out a new book it seems almost once or twice a month, maybe that’s a good thing? Though I would rather tighten the story up condense several books into one better novel and really enjoy the story instead of flying through it.I know I complain regarding this series. It’s because I can see lots of potential for the story. Sadly, I don’t think the author takes his time to really do the series justice. I realize he has to make money, and using the Kindle system is probably like for a scientist - publish or perish. Well he’s helped massive amounts of other authors and even ties some into shared universe story telling - NOW I’d like to see him take a short break and write something deeper, more fulfilling and that could really draw the reader in. I have no problem supporting by purchasing a good author’s books, but I am glad that these entries are freebies using the Kindle Unlimited subscription. I would not pay book dollar pricing for these, as reading each is too quick and would be entirely too expensive when I read potentially two or three of these in a day.It is still a fun read. I am glad that the creative cussing has been toned down some. It is humorous but very overdone if it’s included too often, as it had been for a while.
