Amyr's Command

Firesetter #2

by J. Naomi Ay

Lance thought his life was going well. He had his own ship, the Flying Mule, an awesome crew including his best friends, Wen and Nood, a lovely and intelligent, teenage daughter, Sandy, and lucrative contracts hauling coconuts between two warring planets. When a twist of fate sends the Flying Mule to an unscheduled stop at a nearby spacebase, Lance’s almost-perfect world goes spiraling out of control. His daughter disappears, a leak in the hydraulic system temporarily grounds the ship, and a SpaceForce safety auditor, who just-so happens to be sleeping with Lance’s ex, is demanding a full audit of his cargo. Lance is forced to take evasive action. To find his daughter, he’s got to leave the spacebase fast, but the only way he can is by kidnapping the SpaceForce officer, and allowing a strange, alien guy, with a propensity to light fires, to join his crew. Now, Lance is at the mercy of the alien guy, who not only knows where Sandy has gone, but is taking the cargo to somewhere else, to a planet in turmoil on the other side of the galaxy.

About the author

Naomi lives in the north Olympic Peninsula and is mom to 3 and a Pomeranian. She has always been a fan of historical fiction, fantasy and science fiction and is known for having waited in line for seven hours for the opening of both the original Star Wars and Star Trek films.

Having been an accountant for more than twenty-five years, Naomi is now turning her attention full time to continuing The Two Moons of Rehnor series and the Time Tripping Adventure series as dreaming of fictional people is far more interesting than reconciling ledgers.

Reviews

Far more than it seems to be at first.

The main character is somehow sinisterly, heroic. The theme of reincarnation is continued in this second book, with the main characters still embroiled in the fight for who will be king. The convoluted series of events are full of entertaining moments that keep you reading just to find out where it all will lead.

Just keep reading.

I read the first and second books in this series. Neither book had an ending as far as I am concerned. Not that there was a cliffhanger, just there was no obvious point to the books. Nothing to resolve. I kept hoping I was just missing it but I give up. I didn't care enough about any of the main characters especially Amyr who is mostly a jerk.

Same old same old

The names have changed but the characters are the same. After two books I still can't figure out the plot and frankly Amyr is an asshole and not worth anymore time... or money.
