10 of 10 people found the following review helpful. Fast Paced, Adventurous Hard SF By Pete Family in trouble, ancient mysteries, warlords, and rocket ships that take off and land vertically, as God and Robert Heinlein intended. These is a short list of some of the awesome stuff to be found in Mike Kupari’s first solo novel, Her Brother’s Keeper.It is hundreds of years in the future, on the far side of the Great Interregnum, a dark age where human interstellar civilization effectively ceased to be. Humanity is starting to build a spacefaring civilization again, rediscovering many of the lost artifacts and worlds of the Second Federation, many of which are far beyond their technical knowledge.Catherine Blackwood, captain of the Polaris-class privateer Andromeda, has been called home by her estranged father for a contract: journey to the lawless frontier world of Zanzibar. Her brother has been taken hostage by a local warlord, and Catherine has to get him back. Her feuds with her father forgotten, she gets to work recruiting a ground-combat team, and heads out into the black, on the long road to Zanzibar and her imperilled family.Along the way, the Andromeda and her crew encounter ancient derelicts, aliens, cultish colonists, a sort of space North Korea, and the enduring mysteries of Zanzibar. Also, since this is a Kupari novel, lots of action.The worldbuilding is phenomenal. There are centuries of history to be plumbed in the universe and backstory that Mike has created. He doesn’t answer all of the mysteries presented in Her Brother’s Keeper, either, leaving some of them up in the air for either the reader to ponder, and/or to be dealt with in a later story. It lends a depth to the storytelling that is very well done.The science is also gratifyingly hard. There’s no artificial gravity, spacecraft are described flying like spacecraft, not seagoing naval vessels or WWII warbirds. The ships are also laid out in a logical manner, where the direction of the decks, i.e., “down,” is toward the engines, so any artificial gravity is generated by thrust, rather than handwavium. No aircraft carriers in space, here.At its heart, though, Her Brother’s Keeper is an adventure story, and so the science and worldbuilding, as well thought out as they are, take a back seat to the plot and the action. Both are well done and fast paced. You’ll be sorry to see it end, and probably find yourself asking, “When’s the sequel coming out?”
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. 3 stars with a major asterisk By Daniel S. Palter At the core this is a Heinlein juvie circa mid 50’s [definitely pre- New Wave]. It reads well. I enjoyed it. The end sets up a sequel and I may buy it. That said there were some real problems. Issue is how much these problems matter to each reader. 1. This is golden age space opera and the tropes clank. Doesn’t bother me a lot [I’m in my 60’s] but it may bother people quite a bit as the only updates are a tad more sex [which seems inserted just to say it was there than per se story appropriate] and more realistic [less implausible] ground combat. 2. There’s no real main story line. There are five POV characters whose vignettes overlap. They are each interesting in their own way but none dominates. 3. There’s too much story. A number of the scenes seem rushed as the party has to get to the next encounter. In my opinion several could have been edited out to allow better development of the rest. 4. The world building is barely beyond paper mache. Granted that golden age space opera was story and character driven, this is still bare bones. It works as long as you don’t think too much but I was mentally sanding down sticky points all the way through. Now perhaps some or all of these quibbles don’t matter to you. As a straight entertainment read it’s a 4.5 so if that’s your bag grab it. Otherwise I’d be cautious in suggesting it. It is not bad but the flaws do detract.
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Great Read! By Elizabeth G. Great story that blends seafaring tradition into star travel. Cool elements of modern small unit tactics combined with sci-fi weaponry. All around cool book.
