And we’re done. The Mike Resnick Starship space-opera series is finished with the reading of Starship: Flagship. I’m not thrilled with the alliterative title and some of the discussions that Resnick has in the book on the nature and usefulness of torture is sophomoric at best. But, overall it was a decent ending for a decent series. I’m not sure I’d pick up additional Resnick books after reading this series. Let’s see what happens.

Starship: Rebel by Mike Resnick
And we’re onto book four in the series, Starship: Rebel. The scope of the ship’s mission keeps increasing. I expect them to be fighting for galactic domination if there was a book six. As always with this series, the writing is good, the plot is decent and the characters are flat. But, we march onward. Let’s see what happens.
Starship: Mercenary by Mike Resnick
Continuing our run through Mike Resnick’s Starship space opera series with Book 3, Starship: Mercenary. This book picks up soon after the finale of Book 2 and we have the further adventures of our heroic Captain and his crew. I’m still lukewarm on the series, but I’ve read this far, why not continue. Let’s see what happens.
Starship: Pirate by Mike Resnick
After finishing the first book in Mike Resnick’s Starship series, Starship: Mutiny (my review), I decided to move on and finish the rest of the series. While I wasn’t thrilled with the first book, it was written well enough (and moved at a fast enough pace) that it could be mostly forgiven. So, I moved onto book two, Starship: Pirate. This book picks up almost immediately after the events of the first book and leads our merry crew on a journey through the Inner Frontier, a mostly lawless area of space where anything goes. Let’s read on.
Starship Mutiny by Mike Resnick
I haven’t previously read any Mike Resnick book, but I was in the mood to read some space opera and came across the first book in Resnick’s Starship series, Starship: Mutiny. The book is a fun, fast paced military space opera full of ships fighting, military adventures and our rogue hero who the people love (and the bureaucracy hates). So, let’s see what’s happened.
