Seeking to find a new life for themselves, Cole and comrades remake the Teddy R. as a pirate ship and set sail for the lawless Inner Frontier. There, powerful warlords, cut-throat pirates, and struggling colonies compete for survival in a game where you rarely get a second chance to learn the rules.
But military discipline is poor preparation for a life of pillaging and plundering, and Cole's principles limit his targets. Seeking an education on the nature of piracy, Cole hunts more knowledgeable players: the beautiful but deadly Valkyrie, the enigmatic alien fence David Copperfield, and the fearsome alien pirate known as the Hammerhead Shark.

That said,
If you did like the first one, the story continues and gets better. Good pace, never boring. It has fun and funny characters, yet always belivable. These three books would have made a very fast paced 25 hour book. They are good enough to seem very short at 8 hours each.
And so,.. I am running back to download book 3.

This book is much better than the first book Starship Mutiny, Mike Resnick’s sense of humor sneaks its way in, not as much as I would like, but it is present.
Even though I found this book not quite in the same league as Santiago or Widowmaker, it is a good read.
Much better than Starship Mutiny

Simple and fun

It was. But Pirate picks up the pace and adds some interesting characters. The Narrator, Jonathan Davis, does an excellent job of allowing your imagination to believe you are listening to the different voices of all these characters.Forget the "he said, she said" complaint of a previous review, you'll be too engrossed with the action.

Would you try another book from Mike Resnick and/or Jonathan Davis and Mike Resnick ?
I tried the first book in this series. It was the same.These books are not for the hard science/military sci-fi lover. Too many things inconsistent with military and hard science sci-fi to be enjoyable for me. I kept getting taken out of the story by things that didn't work. (You can't have FTL travel *and* Newtonian physics applied at the same time to a starship. No naval officer gets command of a ship without knowing anything about how a ship works. You can't be both smarter than everyone else around you AND ignorant of the common things in your area of expertise.) The drama was too melodrama for my tastes.
Would you ever listen to anything by Mike Resnick again?
The writing, in general, was good and I've read other stuff by the author before that I liked. However, after two books from this series, I don't think this is the area of the genre that he should be writing for. It seems like military sci-fi written by someone who doesn't know military sci-fi for people who also don't know hard science military sci-fi.Would you be willing to try another one of Jonathan Davis and Mike Resnick ’s performances?
Maybe, but not in this series.What character would you cut from Starship: Pirate?
The Hammerhead is the main villain and I would cut that character. He was so over the top, I kept expecting him to stop, strike a pose, and twirl his mustache.Not for military sci-fi lovers.
