Cast out to die on the toxic world of Maku, young Ishmaeel finds an unlikely ally in the sharp-tongued Soliumite exile Quee-Keg. Together, they claw their way through underground bazaars, brutal creatures of the Galaxy and bitter rivalries to chase a destiny bigger than either imagined: a place aboard the legendary Molok-hunting starship PEKUOD. An all-new epic space saga of survival, rebellion, and the hunger to reach beyond the stars starts here!
Astro Quantum #1, though lighter on plot, is a good start to a new outer space science fiction series.

But if you just want to see alien thugs get a good kicking, this book has it all. Read Full Review
