Description

OUTSTANDING SPACE OPERA! The first scifi book I read was Have Space Suit, Will Travel by Robert Heinlein. The book hooked me on scifi for life. I have read thousands of scifi books, and was pleasantly surprised that Gun Ship compared very well with my first scifi book. Space opera, non stop action, saving the world, all that good stuff. - DBM A Great Read! I am a big fan. Read the Scrapyard and Shipwrecked series. There is always non stop action. - Phil Leininger Great Space Opera! This was a very enjoyable, light read. I've enjoyed all of this author's books. - Russell Simkins Fantastic Military Sci Fi! Action, humor, interesting aliens, and multi-dimensional characters - just an awesome military science fiction story from Mark Wayne McGinnis. Highly recommend this book! Barry Hecht Fun Space Adventure! MWM has become one of my favorite authors. He writes in the same fun style as BV Larson, but Mark's books are all unique. I really admire the author's creativity.xa0Art Parker

Features & Highlights

  • Stranded, Loham Babar has spent the last fifteen months living amongst humans. During the day, he’s a South Chicago high school janitor, slopping a mop around from nine o’clock to three o’clock five days a week. At night, hiding out in an old boarded-up factory, he attends to his damaged interstellar spacecraft—making repairs—counting the days when he can return to his homeworld of Calunoth. All he needs to do is mind his own business—avoid any messy human dramas for just a few more weeks. But it is on one of those quiet nights when he hears them outside—the MP140s. Named for a police radio code for murder, these bangers are among the worst, most ruthless killers in the entire city. Peering down from the 3rd-floor window, Babar recognizes the quiet hermit boy below him, the one with the ugly facial scars, walking into a death trap. Little does Babar realize at the time that this scared, complicated, seventeen-year-old will be the key to saving the distant Realm of Dom Dynasty.

  • Another great military scifi adventure book
  • From the moment I started reading this book I couldn't put it down or for that matter any of Mr. McGinnis's books. Can't wait to read the second book.- Jim

  • Believable story line with plenty of twists and turns that keep you involved. Great job building the personalities of each of the people involved with the plot.... Bring on the next scifi adventure story....- Jerry
  • Mark Wayne McGinnis does it again...
  • Most authors have a style of their own and MWM does as well. This is written in his own unique style for certain and as should be expected is a gripping yarn. A classic Space Opera style story with characters that are lot perfect but are perfectly believable. Can’t wait for the next volume in this captivating story, Gun Ship. Two thumbs up!! 👍🏻👍🏻 Amazon Customer
  • Gun Ship / Superlative and exciting scifi story
  • The only bad part is he doesn't mention if this is going to be a series. It should be. Really enjoyed the characters. Just what I expect from MWM.- R. White

CRAP!

How anyone could think this is good science fiction is beyond me. What a disservice to writers like Asinov, Niven, Blish, Ellison, Bradbury, killer B’s or a myriad of others. My god, were these reviewers smoking that they thought this was good writing. It’s beyond criticism; it’s the most juvenile writing imaginable. A tribute to the adage any idiot can become an author!
