Space is not as endless as Humans thought. In fact, for our kind it all ends at Pluto where the elements of the Greater Drahgosian Empire keep watch to ensure no one leaves the reservation. We are free to explore our own system, to expand and colonize, but to look out beyond our system is forbidden.
Iago has a plan, and if it works he just might be the first human to walk under an alien star. All he needs is a hairless dog, a vindictive Commander, and a Drahgosian starship capable of breaching the vast distance between star systems. Picking up a beautiful alien female like Eema would just be bonus points.
But there is more going on with the reservation than Iago realizes, and his dream may very well be the death of all humanity.
The Starrunner eBook CB Jones Paul Whitehead
Those who really like Star Trek and other space intense movies/novels should definitely pick up The Starrunner. Set in the distant future, this novel begins with the revelation that extraterrestrials have indeed made contact with earth, only to set a rule in place: do not explore outside earth's solar system. But why? Iago, our main character, has spent many years wondering what exists beyond the solar boarders, and in his attempt to see more of the universe, our story takes off.Iago is somewhat of a trickster, intent on sticking it to the higher ups from the very beginning of this novel. And, as the commanders and higher ups don't take jokes and such very well, Iago soon finds himself in a predicament that could end with his death. Always resourceful, though, he is able to use his circumstances to his advantage, breaking out of the confines and, indeed, seeing more of the universe, but at what cost?
As this novel unfolds, readers are introduced to many different alien species, many of which have very human characteristics in either looks or actions. One in particular, Eema, a beautiful alien woman, is not what she seems upon first meeting, and I loved her kick-butt presence, illegal antics and all. Although she is far from what Iago expected in his cross-universal search, they become companions more out of desperation than true friendship, and watching them banter and learn to work together was a lot of fun, as was learning the reason for the Drahgosian rule against human exploration of the universe.
Overall, I really liked the characterization, especially of Eema and Iago, and the story itself was very good, but it seemed to jump from scene to scene a little less fluidly that I would have liked. There were times that I would have loved more intricate information about an alien people, or a circumstance Iago and Eema found themselves in, only to be whisked ahead a few months instead, which left me with a few questions here and there, but nothing too vast. This is a very intriguing novel, and though I'm not really a space or scifi fan myself, as I said before, those who really enjoy Star Trek and other space movies and novels should definitely pick this up, because I think they'll love it.
