5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Sci-Fi. Hope for more from Belcher soon., April 2, 2006
This review is from: Hired Guns (Paperback)
Hired Guns presents us with a plethora of all the sci-fi alien races, gadgets, space ships, weapons, and action we would hope to experience, intertwined with a love story and something more.
Belcher adds a fresh dimension to science fiction that is often overlooked in the genre; the practical aspects of how people (or aliens) support themselves on a daily basis. The economics of how individuals earn their livelihoods, business & industry operates, and how governments fund their operations, all on an interplanetary scale, all come into play for intrigue.
But that's not to say it's a dry read. Far from it.
Belcher's fluid style keeps the reader engaged, always wanting to see what happens on the next page. In short, there's something for just about everyone.
We would like to see a sequel containing something along the lines of "The Further Adventures of the Hancock Family."
