Blue collar Sci Fi in the vein of Firefly.
Running a starship repo company isn’t easy or cheap. It’s just an endless string of fuel costs, ship maintenance, legal red tape, unhappy debt bailers, shady associates and uncooperative dock officials from one end of the galaxy to the other.

Nathan Teller owns and operates Milky Way Repossessions, a company that tracks down and repossesses starships. And although he's only managing to break even on his debt, he wouldn’t trade it for anything. (His ex-wife holds that against him. No surprise there.)

When Nathan and his crew successfully steal a freighter from the clutches of a particularly tenacious and corrupt dock official, he earns the respect of their high profile employer. Opportunity seems a sure thing.

Nathan should be happy. But when that lucrative job op turns into a ransom delivery for a starship crew being held hostage by a cult, he suddenly finds himself pursued by a self-immolating loan shark hell bent on collecting a gambling debt.

How will it all turn out? You never know. Especially when Nathan and his Starship repo agents are up against a cult and the mob...

"I think Milky Way Repo carves out a unique niche in science fiction by presenting protagonists that work hard for a living, sort of a genre of blue collar sci-fi. The world is bigger than them and there isn’t a large fascist government operating against them. In this case, the characters struggle to make ends meet and do so against forces that are relatable; the economy, employers that hold sway over workers, religious elements, and organized crime figures that move in the shadows." -- Michael Prelee, author

Noir scifi? Yes please!

ByS Bon November 29, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

A solid book. A little action, a little intrigue, a little romance. Enjoyable characters and a plot that moved quickly without feeling rushed. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it to fans of noir fiction and crime drama.

"But wait!" you might say. "I thought it was scifi!"

Well, there are spaceships, other worlds, and a radioactive guy that burns when exposed to air. But the scifi bit is pretty light. Setting more than story. So if you're looking for hi-tech hardcore space battles, or robots vs aliens, this isn't the book.

This is a gritty group of repo agents mixed up with the wrong sort of people and trying to do the best they can in a tough spot. The story would be right at home in turn-of-the-century New York, or present day Vegas. The fact that it's set far in the future on spaceships and other planets gives it a fun and unexpected tone, and for me as a scifi fan, made it really enjoyable.

Blue Collar Space Opera

ByLcthulouon September 23, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

What a fun book. I picked this up because Mike is a local author, living in the same Rust Belt town as I do. So I was very interested in this Firefly-esque setting.

Mike's great at world building and plot. This is a dirty, corrupt , industrial galaxy where Ripley or Mal would feel right at home, and there are lots of little, realistic touches that had me saying, "Hey, I know that mobster." It's a refreshing change of pace from the squeaky clean politics you usually see in these type of stories. And he moves the story along, throwing twists and double crosses at you at a pretty good clip.

I wish the main characters had a little more personality and differentiation. It's a little rough going in the beginning until they start to click, but not enough to lose a star.

All in all a great debut and I can't wait to read more!

Bymarc a. gayanon September 1, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

The debut novel of Mike Prelee is a very entertaining Sci-Fi/Noir, with vivid, likable characters and a fast pace. He's got a great handle on plot and a knack for drawing you into the story. For fans of fast-paced space adventure with a smattering of crime drama mixed in, this should do the trick. I finished it in two sittings. High praise for sure. I would definitely read a sequel (or two).

ByEmily Reedon September 8, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Of the the thousands of e-books available on Amazon, this is the only one I felt compelled to buy. It was almost as if some outside force demanded that I make this book my own, and that same force required me to write a review. If you're a fan of science fiction this is definitely a book that should be on your reading list. The characters are well thought out and the plot moves along at a page turning pace. If you only buy one e-book from Amazon...well...you should probably buy The Game of Thrones, but if you're going to buy more than one e-book definitely consider buying this one. What are you waiting for BUY IT NOW, Amazon is standing by.

Mildly okay space opera

ByTadas Osmolskison February 25, 2017

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

This book is --- okay. It's a gritty, blue-collar space opera with some mildly interesting characters, some plot twists that are within the realm of blue-collar space opera but are enough to keep you reading. It did the job of keeping me mildly entertained for a few hours. Others have done this better. I'd buy another book by this author if it were $1.99 or $2.99. No way I'm going to lay out $5.99 for another okay-enough level routine space opera like this one.

Blue-Collar Space Opera Film Noir

BySean O'Brienon August 20, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

Michael Prelee's "blue collar sci-fi" yarn is a fast-paced, action-oriented cinematic story that is packed with colorful characters and intriguing subplots. You'll race through this novel with hardly a moment to catch your breath, and you'll find the people in its pages at once new and familiar. The atmosphere is a mixture of space opera, film noir, and heist movie, with more than a whiff of humor to keep you on your toes.

If you have a Starliner in default

ByJ Clifton Slateron July 24, 2016

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I could write about tight story structure, great characters and a lot more. However, if you have a Starliner in default, call Milky Way Repo. If you don't, buy the book and spend time with the crew. You will not be disappointed.

Good book

Milky Way Repo is a light read that has great potential. It is unfortunate that this potential was not reached, as in the end it felt rather underdeveloped.Read more

Excellent story!

Characters are interesting and likeable. Strong firefly / star wars (Han solo, no Jedi) feel. Has enough detail to flesh out storyline without causing the book to get bogged down.

This is a fun space jaunt with hard working blue collar crew. Imaginative and fast paced.
