“Despite the rather silly title, this is an enjoyable read. … I found it more intriguing tha(n) I had thought and our heroes’ hopeless resistance to the pirate captors made for a damn good story. As with all space opera books, you will have to suspend disbelief at times, but that takes nothing away from the adventure. Worth reading.”—I. Buchanan (Amazon UK)
