Galactic Bounty

I know it's been a long time since I updated what books I've been reading. That's because the one I'm currently on is, like, 1,000 pages or something. I'm about 650 pages into it. Reading has been slow between still working on the house (slowly), events on neopets, and a baby who is cruising all over the place and is very grabby and getting tall enough to reach stuff. But I realized I forgot to review the last one I read before that.

It is Galactic Bounty, by William Dietz. I've actually had this on my to read list for some time. I originally bought it at a dollar store about 10 years ago. I really, really enjoyed it. I felt so comfortable, like I was at home. Scifi really is my genre. All these other books I plod through and then come here and whine about this or that, I need to just stop even buying them and go straight for the scifi.

Anyway, it's about a bounty hunter who's an ex-military guy and he gets talked (scammed?) into doing a mission for the military people and it leads to this big adventure. It's not a drama, it doesn't exist to describe the world it's set in, it's just a fun and interesting adventure set in space. It takes place in the far distant future. It's apparently the first in a series so I am definitely going to keep my eye out for the others. Unfortunately I waited so long to talk about it I can't really discuss many particulars about what I liked, so we'll just say that I don't think there was anything about this book I didn't like. Maybe I'll say I don't like the fact that I don't already own the rest of these books, lol. hm, well I can also say I dislike that the main character smokes so much, that was a bit off-putting.
