This is a 3.5 star book. Bob Freeman, the author, states up front that this book has a particular style that’s not for everyone. In a world exactly like ours but different, dogs, octopus and Simians (definitely not monkeys) are all part of the crews on cargo hauling space ships. Gracie (Graciela) has grown up in a space hauling family. But she’s out to make her own way and become Captain Gracie. Along the way she picks up some crew a dog Jack and a Simian Tang who become good friends. This book helps explain the back story to H2liftships Beyond Luna, I have to say I enjoyed this book more. Like the first book though it’s quirky, has lots of dry humour, and is a story about space travel, trading goods and living on planets in the depth of space, and also Casinos. I’m off to read the third book out soon. Thank you to Bookbuzz.net and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, ‘my words and your words’ freely given (read the book and you may understand).
