Kelly’s review of Alexander Outland: Space Pirate by GJ Koch

BOOK SYNOPSIS:

Captain Alexander Outland of the Sixty-Nine (short for Space Vessel 3369, of course) is the best pilot in the galaxy. He’s also a pirate, a smuggler, and loved and loathed by women in umpteen solar systems. His crew of strays and misfits includes an engineer of dubious sanity, a deposed planetary governor, an annoyingly unflappable Sexbot copilot, and a slinky weapons chief who stubbornly refuses to give the captain a tumble.

Outland just wants to make a decent living skirting the law, but when an invisible space armada starts cutting into his business, he soon finds himself in hot water with the military, the mob, mad bombers, and an extended family of would-be conquerors. And that’s not counting an occasionally telepathic spy . . . .

Like any sensible scoundrel, he hates heroics. They’re risky and they don’t pay well. But to keep his ship and crew in one piece, and make time with a certain hard-to-get weapons chief, he might just have to make an exception–and save the galaxy in spite of himself!

REVIEW:

OMG!!! I loved this story!!!  I am so in love with Alexander Napoleon Outland aka Nap, or as he likes to call himself ‘The Outland’.  Nap is to die for funny, witty, sexy and an all around good guy.  There is no other captain I would want driving my pirate ship.

Alexander Outland: Space Pirate takes us on a wild journey.  Nap is the leader of a pirate ship, well pirate spaceship that is, that finds themself in the middle of a plot to take over the universe.
And for some reason everyone is aiming for them.  Just when they think they know what and who their enemy is after they learn that they are wrong.  It will take every trick in Nap’s book and a little luck for Nap to keep his crew safe, save the universe and hope to win the hand of his lady love.  
Along the way Nap finds himself new crew members, new allies, a few new enemies and in more then one very stinky situation .

Huge thank you to GJ Koch, for letting me read Nap’s book.  I am totally in love with him.  I am really excited to see what is next for Nap and the Sixty-Nine team.
