Jinx on a Terran Inheritance

Hobart Floyt-Alacrity Fitzhugh Adventures, Book 2

Narrated by: Brian Holsopple

The flies in the ointment. Once upon a time, the dying ruler of a small interstellar kingdom made a minor Old-Earth bureaucrat named Hobart Floyt the surprised inheritor of an interstellar spaceship. And that was wonderful, for in those days, when mankind was again expanding into the galaxy, a private spaceship was a license to coin credits. There were just a couple of minor problems.

I really need some of those boots!

Any additional comments?

This is my least favorite of the three, but I still like it a lot! I am really sorry that Mr. Daley never wrote more of these. The characters take on a great deal more depth in this story, and there are some truly original ideas and situations to experience.

Would love to get my hands on a Brawley and those Pathfinder boots :)

Space Opera at it's best!

Brian Daley is a treasure! Fun light-hearted Space Opera with likable characters. I highly recommend it.

Good, but not outstanding

Enjoyable space opera story.
Narration was only fair - separate characters were not differentiated well, leading to some confusion during dialogs.
