"Mixes old-fashioned swashbuckling with laser cannons and politics, resulting in an exciting read with a dash of intrigue -- think Star Wars meets Treasure Island."
Booklist
"Good, old-fashioned, outer-space pirate fun ... a whirl of space battles, sleuthing, spycraft, domestic spats, and ventures into dangerous locales."
Kirkus Reviews
"This swashbuckling series debut is bursting with funny, fast-paced action and steampunk flair, making it a great pick for readers who like Philip Reeve's Larklight."
