Decent spin-off

I was a bit surprised when I heard this spin off from Fast and Furious was being made. I guess it fills a gap between the next one. This delivers what you expect. Plenty of over the top action and unrealistic stunts, along with a fair bit of banter between the lead characters. There are some memorable scenes, the chase through London was great. The plots are slowly getting more absurd though. There are also some nice cameos you wouldn't expect. It was funnier than I thought it would be which was a bonus. If you like the Fast & Furious films you should enjoy this as well, although you can leave your brain in neutral.

Kudos

Jan 30, 2019

Spin-off from <i>The Lost Fleet</i> series, with this taking place after the events off/concurrently with those of [b:The Lost Fleet Beyond the Frontier Dreadnaught|9676849|The Lost Fleet Beyond the Frontier Dreadnaught (The Lost Fleet Beyond the Frontier, #1)|Jack Campbell|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1388524088s/9676849.jpg|14564728] (and it's sequels).

Following the defeat of the Syndicate Worlds at the hands of 'Black Jack' Geary, more and more former Syndicate Worlds are rising up against their old masters - this novel concentrating on one such world, that of Midway.

However, neither former CEOs Artur Drakon or Gwen Iceni are sure if they can trust the other ...

As a spin-off, this introduces almost-entirely new characters, along with some mentioned in passing, or who have had a small role in previous novels. It also makes occasional reference to those earlier novels - particularly to 'Black Jack' Geary himself and some of his actions, even though he is entirely absent from the story.
