Annihilation Aria: Book One of the Space Operas by Michael R. Underwood
3.0
Sometimes you just need some fun, and this book provides that. It’s a little bit of Farscape with a dash of Guardians of the Galaxy and a soupçon of [b:The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet|22733729|The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1)|Becky Chambers|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1405532474l/22733729._SY75_.jpg|42270825]. It’s not as over-the-top as the first or as funny as the second or as well-written as the last, but it was enjoyable nonetheless.
That said, there are a few continuity errors and one chapter repeats the first few paragraphs, so I guess the copy editor was asleep at the switch for this one. Still, the overall story was great fun, just a non-cynical Space Opera romp. If you like Scalzi’s lightweight stuff, you’ll probably enjoy this.
