Lost Cargo: 2 (Get Lost Saga) Paperback – 1 November 2023

Lost Cargo maintains the pace, adds new worlds and ships and people, and ups the fun ante. Looking forward to Book 3!

As I said in my review of LOST SOULS, the first book in the “Get Lost” series, if you loved Firefly or any science fiction out there with a sense of humor, but a serious story line, you need to dive into this series!While the story is set in an exciting fully-fleshed out 'verse, with all manner of intriguing alien races and culture, Noah keeps the focus on his delightful characters and their predicaments (some brought on themselves – looking at you Moss!)And I LOVE that Noah had me laughing right off the bat in Chapter One. It reminds me that the story may have tense moments and uncertainty, but it’s gonna be fun. “Make the ship go” – LOL! If ANYONE thinks humanity would make it into space without a sense of humor and fun (and wit and sarcasm)… well, most people these days have trouble traveling on a plane with other humans, much less heading into the stars with them.Despite the fact that Moss gets himself (and his crew and compatriots) into sticky situations most often with a profit motive, he always does the right thing ultimately, while getting out of them. And he just keeps going, like the Energizer Bunny, even in the face of some pretty unnerving circumstances. Moss and his folks will find a way out, by hook or mustelid (made you look it up!)I grew up during the Golden Age of Science Fiction and graduated to McCaffrey, Norton, Schmitz, and SO many others. My “keeper” shelf is full of these, and Bujold, of course! This book reminded me of the best of those. Exciting, suspenseful, and droll humor – authentic human beings (and other not so human beings and some beings you just aren’t sure of at the moment) in space –and hope in the face of adversity and what sometimes seem to be unsurmountable challenges. FUN!I am still hoping someone will discover this series and turn it into a streaming series! It is creative and complex and fast-paced and exciting. Noah is a great story-teller and his characters are engaging and fun. I am waiting anxiously for MORE in this 'verse!

Really enjoyed this second instalment in this great milieu. A well paced and engaging adventure. There’s lots of scope for more stories in this 26th century post-Earth imagined galaxy, and I am looking forward to finding out how the author explores his wonderful setting further in the future. :)

The continuing story of quack who's gone to the dogs... oh, wait, start again!We again find our main characters defying the normal rules of their universe while trying to find meaning among the stars. Now I want to watch some Ranger M cartoons.

I have been reading Mossfoot adventures from the first in this series and all of the previous works by Noah Chinn and still love them. This is a worthy second book in the series and if you are into scifi with a bit of humor I highly recommend it.
