The Worst Fugitives in the Star Nation

Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes, Book 7

By: Skyler Ramirez

Narrated by: Michael Murphy, Madeleine Brolly

Jessica Lin is missing! And Brad Mendoza has no idea where she is. But he has other problems, like the people trying to extort him into capturing a man he was probably going to kill anyway! Now, with bounty hunters, crime lords, their own Navy, and some random gunslinger after them, can Brad and Jessica find a little more dumb luck and save each other and their crew? Old villains return, and new friends are forged as they scramble against the worst odds they've ever seen.

Meanwhile, there are a lot more people in the Star Kingdom of Prometheus plotting against our heroes, and Brad and Jessica will discover that they're part of something so big and dangerous that they might wish they really did die back when the government said they did.

The seventh book in the exciting and fan-favorite Dumb Luck and Dead Heroes series, The Worst Fugitives in the Star Nation will make you cheer (for sure), laugh (almost certainly), and cry (probably) as you follow our hapless heroes through another romp across the galaxy!

Space opera meets military sci-fi and humor in this glorious story of flawed people stepping up to do heroic things.

fun series

predictable dialogue but witty and entertaining. this one's a good time burner. it's lite for the most part but does have some violence and adult references.

Great books, love stories, laughter, battles. What more could anyone want.

Like everything about the series. I sure hope more books in this series are written. The ending was left wide open. Thanks for sharing these wonderfull books. 🙂💖🙂💖

Brad’s sarcastic witty attitude

Very amusing space novel. With a blended cast to make each new mission more exciting.

FANTASTIC, humour, action , characters and what a plot

the characters are just amazing and one becomes totally engrossed in them from Book 1 . The actors doing the reading are absolutely incredible, every character is perfectly depicted . CANNOT WAIT to join them on the next adventures

DNR:Comicbook antoganists, no foreshadowing payoff

Book starts with Jessica and Brad mixing business with pleasure, having a pseudo honey moon on the planet's surface while their spaceship is being repaired in the space above. Protagonists escapades since their excommunication having been too flashy to escape notice by imperials security services, all the while being too useful to pass up on exploiting, Jessica is kidnapped and interrogated, while Brad is coerced to perform a solid one for his ex-star nation. Playing the antagonists - crime baron, Jacob and Jaxonians make a reappearance.

Again and again, and again. Author seems to be allergic to long cons. Technologically far more advanced than widespread technological availability would suggest space light assault ship makes an appearance, as well as, previously not mentioned, improved warp drive. Adding a new character just so that protagonists mayor crew characters would have a fitting love interest pair-dynamic seems excessive. If anything having so many couplings in such a small crew is out of the ordinary.

Conclusion: 3/5. Listened on Audible included in plus catalogue. Narrated by: Michael Murphy, Madeleine Brolly. Viewed internal/external monologues of Brad as separate from the story's, as a whole, seriousness gauge. With author favoring short term pay offs and constant use of problem solving using solutions pulled out of nowhere without any foreshadowing, I was wrong. Humorous story to be taken offhandedly. Terrible value for the length of the book, buying it with USD- 2.09 $/hour (19.99 $ / 09 hrs 36 mins ).

Values:
Terrible: >1.66 $/hour
Bad: 1 - 1.66 $/hour
Good: <1 $/hour
Dream: 0.4 - 0.27 $/hour

5 - Recommended to everyone
