The Package (Book Review)

As with the last book review this is posted in full on http://thefoundingfields.com/ and this is simply a preview. If you want to see it in full then please follow the link through to there.


Continuing the saga of the Nineteen Galaxies series, The Package takes an odd shift from the last tale we looked at. Whereas Recon One-Five was more of a Sharpe-esque tale about a military regiment, The Package is more akin to a Star Wars EU novel about the galaxy’s criminal underbelly. It features a man of legendary skill, a package of significant importance, and the sorts of major entanglements only someone of great ability could survive. Said man is the mysterious Samaritan, famed for his skills in surviving against the odds and running blockades, broken by personal tragedy. While drowning his sorrows on the Ark, he is approached by someone seeking his skills in ensuring her return home. As is ever with such things, it soon becomes clear that there is much more at risk than either of their lives…
