The crew of the legendary Capricious are rich enough to retire in comfort for the rest of their days, but none of it matters if the galaxy is still in danger.

Nilah and Boots, the ship's newest crew-members hear the word of a mysterious cult that may have links back to an ancient and all-powerful magic. To find it, hot-headed Nilah will have to go undercover and find the source of their power without revealing her true identity. Meanwhile, Boots is forced to confront the one person she'd hoped never to see again: her old, turn-coat treasure-hunting partner.

Review of 'A Bad Deal for the Whole Galaxy' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I am fair clipping along with this series. The second installment is full of brio as it skips from set-piece to set-piece. As I noted in my review of the first, this is very much novel-as-Hollywood so the structure is as expected. However, the quality shines through in the story telling and characters. This was just unabashed good fun and sometimes that's all a book needs to be. Recommended.
