When a bunch of interstellar scavengers approach Earth intending to abduct a few dozen humans and sell them into slavery in the darkest, they make the mistake of picking on Steve Stuart and his friends, ex-military veterans all. Unprepared for humans who can actually fight, unaware of the true capabilities of their stolen starships, the scavengers rapidly lose control of the ship - and their lives.

A libertarians masturbatory fantasy

I've read and enjoyed several other books by Nuttall, but I'm genuinely not sure I'll buy another after listening to this crap.
An utterly unrealistic plot. My suspension of disbelief sank quickly every time I tried to continue this drek. At least the needlessly sexist control freaks stopped short of kidnapping their own families, or maybe they do and I just didn't have the will to continue that far into it.
The characters might work if the plot was believable, but it's not and they don't. The plot might work if the characters were actually smart, but they aren't and it doesn't. It was an interesting concept but it was hamhandedly wrapped in charaters and plot elements that made me cringe and switch to a different book every time I listen for more than a minute or two.

The story was fine but the narration didn't fit.

Great addition

I enjoy this series immensely, the only issue I had with this book is that Star Rouge: King of thieves takes place during it, and the reading order is messed up, so I found out the plot and ending of that book before I knew it existed.
