Review: Backyard Starship

Title: Backyard Starship


Author: J.N. Chaney, Terry Maggert

Rating: 3.7/5

Comments:  Basically this is a classic story of boy finds spaceship, boy becomes interstellar sheriff.  It's really not bad, but it's very inconsistent.  I assume the jarring shifts are where the 2 authors transition, but you would think someone would have said something in editing or beta reading.  It's a constant bait and switch as you think "Ok, so this is where the story is going" and then they wrap up that bit with a couple sentences off screen, and go on to something else.  It doesn't suck, but it's I found it unsatisfying as a story.  I honestly doubt I'll read the next one despite liking the characters.
