First off, what a pleasure to read a Kindle title relatively free of grammatical, spelling, and typographical errors! This could also be a relatively good adventure story. I haven't finished it yet, so I can't speak to the entire book. But, it's holding my interest so far, even if the plot is somewhat far fetched -- failed CIA analyst becomes, literally overnight, star field agent for a super-secret, alien-hunting agency run by idiots. But, she still falls for every obvious con thrown at her. (The plot stretch is why I didn't give this 5 stars.) However, the underlying premise that the earth in some way disrupts alien space drives causing their ships to crash here as sort of an interstellar hazard to navigation, is original. I wouldn't recommend this to my serious Sci-Fi buddies, but it's decent escape reading -- it fills a bus ride.I had to downgrade my review having now finished the book. The heroine ends up essentially accepting slavery to two maniacs because of a huge salary and some bogus contract. Totally disappointing. This is the last B. V. Larson title I'll willingly pay for.
