Reseña del libro "Ricket (en Inglés)"
"What a ride! I'm completely out of breath.""By far, this is my favorite of ALL the McGinnis SyFy books.""I stood up and cheered."The need for Star Watch assistance is heating up within the galaxy. With their resources quickly thinning, Ricket and a small team are sent to Port City, on the planet Eriok. Here Ricket's adventure begins, and he'll have to use every bit of his technical cunning to survive, because what's waiting for him will alter the course-for both Star Watch and Ricket forever.Many light-years away, there's a new spatial land-grab in process by the Darion Cartel-their expanding fleet of warships, led by Captain Mar Oswaldo, the Manfred von Richthofen (the Red Baron) of space ... a masterful starship captain who's never been defeated in battle, and he's ready to come up against the commander of Star Watch, Captain Jason Reynolds.Join the Star Watch team as they encounter both new and old adversaries. Be prepared to say goodbye to a beloved crewmember-one who has been with them since the very beginning. Reviews: I Love Ricket / Book 2 of the Star Watch Box Set Series by Mark Wayne McGinnisHe holds the key to all the technology and that's what drives the story for me. I really like how the scrapyard ship has been upgraded through the books and the improvements Ricket has donated. His laid-back zen approach is also a perfect anchor for all the chaos that the rest of the group goes through. I'm glad MWM.- Dennis Daly This is one of the best books I've read in some timeThis is one of the best books I've read in some time. For those of you who are engineers, you will absolutely love this book. I enjoy all of the Scrapyard series of books but I must say that I think this is the very best of the series. I love that I can never guess where they are going with the plot. The stories are complex and exciting. I actually love other books of Mark, like his latest scifi military series of books, the UUS Hamilton series. Read and enjoy!!!- William C. Gibson Back for the future I've been reading science fiction on and off for almost 60 years, and some of my fondest memories are of the pulp-like works of Robert Heinlein and Andre Norton. Ricket, my first read by Mark Wayne McGinnis, strongly reminded me of those days of personal discovery of other universes. The premises, pacing, and resolutions kept my attention from start to finish, leaving me wanting more. Given McGinnis's apparent productivity, I don't think I'll have to wait long. Even if Heinlein and Norton are unfamiliar names for you, keep Ricket in mind. It's definitely worth a look.- Allan Farbman Thank you Mark, for the fun military scifi action adventure booksI love all of Mark's books: Scrapyard Ship, Star Watch, Ship Wrecked Stranded on an Alien Planet, Boy Gone, Galaxy Man, The Gun Ship, the Hidden Ship, Cloudwalkers, the UUS Hamilton, and the USS Jefferson. For this book, Ricket, Book 2 of the Star Watch series, the fun and adventure and space battles are here in full force. Thank you, Mark, for providing so much fun and entertainment over the years.- David This book and series are a good read / Captain Jason Reynolds, Boomer, Dira, Ricket / But to really enjoy it you have This book and series are a good read. But to really enjoy it you have to read from the first book on. Otherwise, you will miss the character development and not enjoy the subtleties and interaction of the many and various characters. Well worth the time to acquire the series from book one and read from the beginning of the series, specifically to understand the evolution of Ricket.-OnLIneShopper
