Starrigger (Skyway, #1)Starrigger by John DeChancie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read this on recommendation and just felt a bit tickled by the premise -- since it's not something I usually see -- and was immediately enjoying it for the oddball physics and the potential timey-wimey hijinks of an open-road (or road-galaxy) adventure.

About half-way in, I was thrilled to see it turn into Smokey and the Bandit with mach-speed racing.

The rest was pretty entertaining, with spies and betrayals and wacky religious people and hitch-hiking the starways.

I didn't realize how much I missed this crap until after I thought nobody wrote this kind of novel anymore.


Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews is be interested in reading my SF (Very hard SF, mind you), I'm open to requests.

Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
