The Belt Loop (Book One) ReviewI bought this because the 3 reviews available were all 5 star. I suspect they were all friends of the author. Don't get me wrong, the book wasn't terrible, but 5 stars? Seriously? I thought about giving it 2 stars, but in the end I decided on 3 as an encouragement to the author to keep trying.
The major plot wasn't bad. Patrol boat finds derelict ship inhabited by 2 alien species, one determined to wipe out the crew, one harmless. On board battles, space battle, a little of everything in the space opera genre. What's not to like, right?
The writing and some of the plot were pretty simplistic. It looks like it was written for teenagers or even preteen. And several of the sub-plots were down right stupid and annoying. One, having to do with a kid stowaway (seriously, on a military ship?) who saves the day at the end and seemed to take up 25% of the story almost had me stop reading the book. Another, involving a deranged crewman who somehow manages to create a whole new type of weapon (with nobody on board finding out) and fire it at the alien ship to start the battle was just silly.
Still the major plot line has some interesting possibilities. Looks like future battles with the aliens in the series. I'll probably buy the second book in the series and hope the author ditches the kid and adds some complexity to the story. If not, there's just too much other good stuff to read out there, even at $2.99.The Belt Loop (Book One) OverviewCaptain Uri Haad is plunged into one of the most terrifying voyages of his Colonial Navy career. His ship, the CNS Corpus Christi, stumbles upon a derelict alien vessel out in the void of Orion's Belt -- The Belt Loop as it is known by the sailors of the Third Colonial Fleet out of Elber Prime. He launched a Search and Rescue mission to the hulking derelict after his scans detected surviving life forms. What started as a mission of mercy quickly turns into a nightmare of epic proportions and as the horror spreads to his ship and crew, Captain Haad must make life and death decisions to avoid his own destruction and possibly an interstellar war. This taut deep-space adventure bridges the gap between distant suns and gives us a glimpse into the workings of the Twenty-eighth Century Colonial Navy. Approximately 95,000 words.
