"I've been waiting for the sequel and am happy to say it does not disappoint. Batson gives us characters I can actually care about and share in their their wins and losses as the story unfolds."
"I read lots of books of all different genres and this book is a great read!"
"Adventures of a Space Bum 2: In Search of a Legacy is a thoroughly enjoyable read packed with adventure and incident. This character-driven speculative sci-fi story is conveyed with a realism via characters whose personalities shine through."
"Batson's ability to take concepts that not only could be but are occurring in the present and reflect how they play out in a future time gave me food for thought. The author seems to enjoy throwing in a bit of conspiracy theory how the Central Government is involved with the deadly fast-spreading virus."
Award winning NC Author Jon Batson has pulled off a difficult maneuver in Adventures of a Space Bum Book 2. I love his Sci-Fi novel Adventures of A Space Bum Book 1 and Star, the heroine. The excellent sequel is what I wanted, what I expected, and is still filled with plenty of unexpected twists and turns across the galaxy and back again to keep me turning pages with anticipation and pleasant surprise. I never knew what was going to happen next.
True to form, Star can hardly set foot on a new planet without her past, present and future catching up with her.
Trouble is, her life consists of pin-balling from planet to planet, first running to it with all due excitement, then running from a growing list of thieves, thugs, pirates and authorities.
The big question is: what is her father’s fabled legacy, left for Star, which everyone seems to know more about than her? Will she find it before they find her?
Book 2 is satisfying and exciting epic goodness! I look forward to seeing it in my favorite local bookstore alongside the Book 1 and am awaiting Book 3.
