United Nations Special Operations Command sent an elite expeditionary force of soldiers and pilots out on a simple recon mission, and somehow along the way they sparked an alien civil war. Now the not-at-all-merry band of pirates is in desperate trouble, again. Their stolen alien starship is falling apart, thousands of light years from home. The ancient alien AI they nicknamed Skippy is apparently dead, and even if they can by some miracle revive him, he might never be the same.

Skippy The Magnificient is not so Magnificient

Reviewed in Australia on 22 July 2019

At least not without his Hairless Monkey mates.... damn Joe know how to get himself into trouble! I am afraid that I find that Skippy and Joe-isms are creeping into my thinking and dialect... Hold my beer! Damn It!

Bring on the next installment!

good story telling!

Reviewed in Australia on 9 November 2019

even though this book is book 5 in the series, with the style of writing you could read this book as a standalone book. there are enough references to the previous stories/adventures to make sense of it and a good exiting read to want more when you reach the end of the book, and that is a good sign of good story telling.

This book continues the bromance between Joe and Skippy. Full of adventure and Skippy attitude. I love these books, but I have a major complaint that the next book isn't until next year! :)

Such good, very story, many wow

Reviewed in Australia on 19 May 2019

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.... It was Skippy The Magnificent demanding I read his books.

Wow

Yep I liked this. I'm kind of sad that at this point there is only one book left. For anyone reading this this more of the high quality narrative. I noticed the chatter is getting heavier but it's still A grade story. Thank you again for piecing this together.

Another interesting book

Will the “merry band of pirates” ever get back to earth? Their travels seem to always end with trouble. This is another imaginative and interesting story.

Good but.......enough is enough. Goodbye "Band of Boring Pirates".

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 17 February 2019

I think I've come to the end of the road with this series. It started well and I'm afraid its all become a bit of a yawn fest.
Skippy tells Joe "ahem, you're very much not going to like this" and its back to the same old "the ships going to break", "we've been detected", "all humans are going to die", "no Joe, we cant do it like last time because we don't have enough power, missiles, oxygen or interest".
Some of the narrative gets a bit long winded, you can easily skip chunks of pages as Joe and Skippy talk absolute bollocks about nowt.
It's been great but this "Band of Boring Pirates" should have returned to Earth a long time ago.

Some of the best Inter-Galactic story writing out there!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 March 2018

After 6 books and one novella, the story still seems as a fresh as a daisy! The characters are really developing now into rich personalities who totally make for gripping reading. I can hardly wait for the next instalment and if Craig is reading this.... Please do a couple more Ex-Force stories too... I loved how book 3.5 fitted so neatly into the bigger story. Surely there is so much to explore there? Anyways - I'm loving this and totally looking forward for news of the next book.

Marvellous imagery and a huge scope of imagination.

The adventures of the Merry Band of Pirates led by Joe and aided by a beer can called Skippy continue with marvellous imagery and a huge scope of imagination that is refreshing.
I find it hard to put down a new book. Craig Alanson has me gripped as soon as I open one of these space adventure tales. Well done, Craig.

How on gods earth do you keep thinking up these ideas? I absolutely love reading your books, I try to get the answer before you deliver it, but, alas, you beat me every time! I wonder if Brian Cox (UK's space smarty pants) has read your books? I'm sure he'd love them. It's going to be a long few months until the next saga hits the tablet! Keep it up 😁😁😁

Fantastic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 August 2018

Great series, refreshingly different style of sci-fi with comedic beats, blending military and scientific themes with enough levity to make the overwhelming odds exciting and unexpected.

Alanson has developed an interesting and rich sandbox of characters, locations and technology for skippy and the gang to play in!
