A review by jameseckman
Her Majesty's American by Steve White
1.0
What's to like about this book? The author's note on James Wilkinson (Wikipedia), a slimy Revolutionary War American general, and that's it. And why is this brought up at all you might ask? Because America needs a queen, there is no democracy in space opera.
First bizarre thought when reading this book is why do they keep Grey Goldson, the exposed female double(triple?) agent around? Because she's the only female character, and she's also the hero's love interest and prize for winning at the end.
Then there's the mini-ringworld installation that can't shoot at the hero's ship because he flew through the hole? Along with a plethora of other highly improbable nonsense. Like the hero's builtin phone that was used once and then must have broke down or the hero forgot about it, otherwise the story would have ended on chapter 3.
I've generally enjoyed White's books in the past, I'd recommend any of his other books and forget this book was ever written.
