It's less Tanya Huff and more \u003ci\u003ePhule's Company\u003c\/i\u003e in the best possible way. It's witty and sharp, it sneaks in some social commentary, and it skates just on the right side of the line between clever absurdity and complete chaos.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Ilona Andrews, #1 \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Jim Hines is one of the funniest, and most fun, writers in our genre! \u003ci\u003eTerminal Alliance\u003c\/i\u003e skewers science fiction tropes and takes on a wild romp through an original universe.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Tobias S.

Mops is a great POV character, and I enjoyed the way that the maintenance crew got to be the heroes—but also they didn't just pick up the controls of the ship and fly around as though it were super easy.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Ann Leckie, Nebula- and Hugo-winning author of \u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003eAncillary Justice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e“I enjoyed \u003ci\u003eTerminal Alliance\u003c\/i\u003e very much. It’s a spunky, irreverent interstellar romp with most unlikely heroes and frequent laugh-out-loud moments. I look forward to more adventures featuring this delightful cast of galactic janitors.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Marko Kloos, author of the Frontlines series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Like the slightly demented love child of Douglas Adams and Elizabeth Moon, \u003ci\u003eTerminal Alliance\u003c\/i\u003e is clever, silly, full of surprises, and unfailingly entertaining. Apparently Jim C. Hines is capable of being funny in every genre.” \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—Deborah Blake, author of the Baba Yaga series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Hines (\u003ci\u003eLibromancer\u003c\/i\u003e) delivers a fantastic space opera that doesn’t skimp on the action and excitement but pairs it with a hefty dose of slightly scatological humor. The author is especially clever in having Mops and her team leverage cleaning tools and a knowledge of spaceship plumbing to fight their enemies.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e (starred)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"[\u003ci\u003eTerminal Alliance\u003c\/i\u003e] is also good science fiction: a solid premise, an expansive universe, a compelling history, a strong and varied cast of characters, pulse-pounding action, and a galactic crisis with high stakes. The fact that it’s funny is icing on a rich and delicious cake. Clever, and should appeal to fans of Douglas Adams and John Scalzi.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e—\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Astra Publishing House","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48865786691927,"sku":"9780756412753","price":9.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780756412753.jpg?v=1722275565","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/terminal-alliance-9780756412753","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
