What did you like best about Virtues of the Vicious? What did you like least?

Our heroine, Elizabeth Cruze, reminds me of Lara Croft in outer space, armed with as many F-bombs and weapons as the guys she runs around with. I thought the technical aspects of the world building was rendered well, but I found myself getting lost between airlocks from time to time, and the profanity seems to function more for special effect. Would like to know more about Cruze's past.

Would you recommend Virtues of the Vicious to your friends? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book if you enjoy semi-hard sci-fi entailing futuristic set pieces, space ships, and gadgets, and hot chicks wielding deadly blasters.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

I listened to the audio version, narrated by A.T. Shore. The voice acting and sound quality are as good as any audio book I've heard. I think a woman's voice works best for this story.

Could you see Virtues of the Vicious being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

This story could easily be translated into a movie or media streaming series. I think Martin Wilsey should make a cameo as one of the characters who browbeats Cruze.

Any additional comments?

Great hot-chick-with-firearm cover art. Could be a great merchandising tie-in with future episodes.
