4.0 out of 5 stars
Another solid space opera,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Mercenaries (Paperback)
Another solid space opera patterned after the time period preceding WWII. The action sequences
are well done and the characters are real and sympathetic. Someone mentioned that this series declines as it goes on. This is book #4 and I rather enjoyed it. Note: this book is only available used.

The Helmsman returns to defend in a new starship,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mercenaries (Paperback)
The fourth book in the Helmsman series finds Wilf Brim as skipper of his own starship based on the racing hull of the last book. Due to politics, the crew ends up as Mercenaries on the far flung Fluvannian star system. Bewitched by his old love Margot, Brim sires a child and battles the League. Baldwin continues the saga of the Helmsman using his deft touch of technical and piloting jargon to carry the reader through the plot. Dedicated fans of the Helmsman will enjoy the read. New readers should start with'The Helmsman' or 'Galactic Convoy' or many of the plot interplays are lost. A fine read, but clearly the middle book of a series with all of the faults and traits such a books has. Some mature descriptions of Brim's love life |
