Gatecrasher by Stephen Graham King

5.0

It was so great to be reunited with the crew of the Maverick Heart and the sentient ship itself in this sequel to Soul’s Blood. And as much as I adore the original “meat” duo of Keene and Lexa-Blue, I also love the addition of Ember. I can’t wait to see how he fits in with the team going forward. Fantastic world building, great story. The Maverick Heart Cycle will definitely be a favourite series of mine and I can’t wait for the next book.

An origin story of Stargate meets DS-9, and the lengths heterosexuals will go to have absolutely everything for themselves.

Sometimes, first sentences grab you. Other times, they make you read a few pages. And yet still others you read make you realize that the book is just not for you.

Perhaps for fans of David Webb?

And for some reason now I find that it's a sequel. No wonder I was so lost. Perhaps I'll give this book another shot at some point.

I’ve long been a lover of Space Opera, but it was so rarely a place I saw myself represented that I drifted away from it over my years as a reader. I always felt a disconnect: how come we got to the stars, but there’s never a queer person in sight? Why can’t the cocky space pilot be bi? Why can’t the tech-smart engineer hook up with another guy?

Well, they can. Allow me to introduce you to the Maverick Heart Cycle.

I reviewed this for Out in Print. Full review at the link there, but suffice it to say this was awesome.
