A
Nice Little Stay.
Having read and enjoyed the first book
in M Pax’s Backworlds series, (my review
can be found here)
I was looking forward to book two, Stopover
at the Backworld’s Edge. I also enjoyed book two, but it wasn’t what I was
expecting.
Book one introduced Craze, a genetically
altered human especially designed to survive on certain types of worlds. He
lives in a part of the galaxy that has many different genetically altered
people called the Backworld’s. There was once a war with the Foreworlds, but
little is learn about them. In book one Craze flies from world to world having
all kinds of misadventures, I was expecting the same in book two.
However, it was not to be. Instead,
Craze has settle on a moon called Pardeep. Here he has set up a bar at it’s
space dock and dreams of making a fortune as revenge against his father who
betrayed him in book one. All Craze’s friends have found a roll on the moon
(except one, read the books and find out why.) and some new characters are
introduced.
The action starts with a foreworld’s
space ship lands with a mysterious passenger and doesn’t stop for the whole
book. All the action in this book takes place on Pardeep, but there is plenty
of it. Amongst the action we learn more about the universe that M Pax is
creating.
P Max is still setting up her universe
for the long running series ( Book
five is now out.), but she does a fine job of giving you a good action
story whiles doing so. I’m a little behind in the series, I’m reading book
three right now, but I’m committed to reading it through the the end. Whenever
that is.
The Backworlds
Series is one worth exploring.
