4.0 out of 5 stars My first Dietz book, not my last., March 3, 2009

This review is from: Drifter's Run (Paperback)

Drifter's Run is the first Deitz book that I have read, and it will not be the last. I picked up this book at the local Halfprice book store when I couldn't find what I was originally looking for. I found this to be a very enjoyable book. It is what I would call a science fiction adventure story.
Dietz's story takes place in the gritty underside of a space empire filled with aliens, cyborgs and the like. Pik Lando is on the run wanted for murder. Fleeing bounty hunters he takes a job as a pilot aboard the salvage ship Junk. The story follows him on a series of adventures with the crew of Junk. This is the second book of three following the adventures of Pik Lando, however I didn't read the first book wasn't lost at all. I found this to be a very enjoyable story and upon finishing I went out and got another of Deitz's books. If you are looking for a good Sci-Fi adventure you will not be disappointed with Drifter's Run.

For some reason I really enjoy this series, it has a great lead character and some wonderful sci-fi ideas. I would recommend this book to sci-fi fans that want a hero that reminds them of.... Han Solo, in a good way.
