Dark Run (Keiko #1) by Mike Brooks ★★★☆☆

"Buckle up, everyone. Jia’s taking us down ahead of schedule, and incidentally has lost her fucking mind."

"I heard that."

"You were meant to." 

Dark Run reads somewhere between Firefly and The Expanse with greater diversity and light sexy time. 

The episodic writing is geared for television, catchy chapter headings and all. The writing, and story, could have flowed better.

There’s enough here for optimism about the series. It’s a high three stars for me and I’ll be reading book two next month!

As Jenna said, “...next time, we plan this shit properly!"
