Fringe Runner by Rachel Aukes
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

I guess I wanted something more from this. I won't say it isn't competent enough as an Expanse-lite romp, but it's simply a bit too bland for me. It's space-opera, but it doesn't have any hooks beyond sex, extra-real characters (those with faults), pirates, and rebellion.

It might be enough for the general reader, but I've read an amazing number of great SF and this is pretty ho-hum. Hell, Doc Smith from 80 years ago was writing much more interesting romps.

Alas. I don't think I'll continue on.
