Review of H2Liftships - Vol 3 - BosonsWave
Captain Grace and her crew are back with more adventures. Greedy pirates, dishonest traders, weird green ships, mutinous bioGels, rats, squirrels, and more make up this tale.
Captain Grace's ship, the LunaCola, has garnered much interest. However, not all interests are positive. This results in several changes. We also look at the bioGel factory, Tang's expertise at poker, Jack's never-ending quest for more "jerky," and Grace's passive-aggressive parents (mostly passive in Mykolas' case).
The crew encounters several difficulties and will need some teamwork, math, jerky, and help from unexpected allies to make it through. However, a hidden, overlooked threat surfaces, and a solution must be found before it is too late.
H2Liftships - Vol 3 - BosonsWave by Bob Freeman is (as it states in the title) the third volume in the H2Liftships series. The story combines science fiction with fantasy, humor, and action, and the result is a wild, unpredictable tale that will keep you on your toes until the end.
This is the most unique story I have ever read, bringing a fresh, exciting take to the space exploration theme. I love the creativity infused in every word. The book constantly diverges from what is expected or predicted. The concept of the bioGel generation, growth, and maturation is fascinating. The book provokes the reader to imagine different possibilities. This is my favorite aspect of the book.
The characterization of the book is one of its best qualities. The characters are unique and endearing, and their interaction is always entertaining. Each one, with its distinct character and behavior, makes the scenes come to life. I especially love Jack because of his unending supply of bad ideas and ability to take any conversation into a weird tangent. His friendly spats with his fellow crew member, Tang, bring a humorous feel to the book and give it a warm quality not usually found in science fiction.
I loved the author's consistency throughout the book during the world-building process. The author took a straightforward, detail-oriented approach that would answer any questions before they came up.
There are a lot of grammatical errors in the book; they are enough to be distracting. I recommend that this book be re-edited.
Muddling through some technical aspects of the book might reduce some reader's enjoyment. However, it is okay if you enjoy complex books. Apart from that, there is nothing to dislike in this book. Considering the number of grammatical errors, I rate the book four out of five stars. I recommend it to lovers of complicated science fiction and fantasy.
