I rated this series

overall and said:

Great action-heavy popcorn scifi. Strong Firefly inspiration, but goes its on way eventually. Heck of a good time.

Wears its Firefly inspiration on its sleeve, but in a good way. Good characters and a decent world. I liked the story too. Good romp all around.

Great expansion of the world. A little bit less of "definitely not firefly" and a bit more original worldbuilding. There's a cool pair of intertwined stories that work well here. Excited to see where this series goes.

Another rip-roaring outing with the crew of the Keiko. Really felt like it came into its own. Expertly blends a spy thriller with an action heist. Cashes in on some emotional payoff that authors really only get as they get farther into their series. Is a good time overall!
